Meanwhile, the friendship between the monkey
and the crocodile deepened as they spent more
and more time together. The crocodile’s wife
started getting jealous. She wanted to put an
end to this friendship. So she pretended that she
could not believe that her husband could be
friends with a monkey. Her husband tried to
convince her that he and the monkey shared a
true friendship. The crocodile’s wife thought to
herself that if the monkey lived on a diet of rose
apples, his flesh would be very sweet. So she
asked the crocodile to invite the monkey to their
house.
