Once upon a time there lived a monkey on the bank of a river.<\/p>\n

\u098f\u0995\u09b8\u09ae\u09af\u09bc \u09a8\u09a6\u09c0\u09b0 \u09a4\u09c0\u09b0\u09c7 \u098f\u0995\u099f\u09bf \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0 \u09a5\u09be\u0995\u09a4\u0964<\/p>\n

Right in the middle of the river there was a small island with many fruit trees.<\/p>\n

\u09a8\u09a6\u09c0\u09b0 \u09a0\u09bf\u0995 \u09ae\u09be\u099d\u0996\u09be\u09a8\u09c7 \u0985\u09a8\u09c7\u0995 \u09ab\u09b2\u09c7\u09b0 \u0997\u09be\u099b\u09b8\u09b9 \u098f\u0995\u099f\u09bf \u099b\u09cb\u099f \u09a6\u09cd\u09ac\u09c0\u09aa \u099b\u09bf\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

Sweet and juicy fruits grew on the trees.<\/p>\n

\u0997\u09be\u099b\u09c7 \u09ae\u09bf\u09b7\u09cd\u099f\u09bf \u0993 \u09b8\u09b0\u09b8 \u09ab\u09b2 \u09a7\u09b0\u09a4\u0964<\/p>\n

At a distance from the bank, there was a huge rock in the river.<\/p>\n

\u09aa\u09be\u09a1\u09bc \u09a5\u09c7\u0995\u09c7 \u0995\u09bf\u099b\u09c1\u099f\u09be \u09a6\u09c2\u09b0\u09c7 \u09a8\u09a6\u09c0\u09a4\u09c7 \u098f\u0995\u099f\u09bf \u09ac\u09bf\u09b6\u09be\u09b2 \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0 \u099b\u09bf\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

A part of it was above water.<\/p>\n

\u098f\u09b0 \u098f\u0995\u099f\u09bf \u0985\u0982\u09b6 \u099b\u09bf\u09b2 \u099c\u09b2\u09c7\u09b0 \u0989\u09aa\u09b0\u09c7\u0964<\/p>\n

One day, attracted by the delicious fruits, the monkey jumped to reach the rock and from there leapt onto the island.<\/p>\n

\u098f\u0995\u09a6\u09bf\u09a8, \u09b8\u09c1\u09b8\u09cd\u09ac\u09be\u09a6\u09c1 \u09ab\u09b2\u09c7\u09b0 \u09a6\u09cd\u09ac\u09be\u09b0\u09be \u0986\u0995\u09c3\u09b7\u09cd\u099f \u09b9\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09b2\u09be\u09ab\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u0995\u09be\u099b\u09c7 \u09aa\u09cc\u099b\u09be\u09b2 \u098f\u09ac\u0982 \u09b8\u09c7\u0996\u09be\u09a8 \u09a5\u09c7\u0995\u09c7 \u09b2\u09be\u09ab\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09a6\u09cd\u09ac\u09c0\u09aa\u09c7 \u0997\u09c7\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

\u201cNot so difficult, after all,\u201d he said to himself. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u09ae\u09cb\u099f\u09c7\u0987 \u0996\u09c1\u09ac \u0995\u09a0\u09bf\u09a8 \u099b\u09bf\u09b2 \u09a8\u09be, \u09b8\u09b0\u09cd\u09ac\u09cb\u09aa\u09b0\u09bf,\u201d \u09b8\u09c7 \u09a8\u09bf\u099c\u09c7\u0995\u09c7 \u09ac\u09b2\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

Soon he was enjoying the sweet fruits from the trees.<\/p>\n

\u09b6\u09c0\u0998\u09cd\u09b0\u0987 \u09b8\u09c7 \u0997\u09be\u099b\u0997\u09c1\u09b2\u09bf \u09a5\u09c7\u0995\u09c7 \u09ae\u09bf\u09b7\u09cd\u099f\u09bf \u09ab\u09b2 \u0989\u09aa\u09ad\u09cb\u0997 \u0995\u09b0\u09a4\u09c7 \u09b2\u09be\u0997\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

There was hardly any other animal there, so he was in no danger.<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c7\u0996\u09be\u09a8\u09c7 \u0985\u09a8\u09cd\u09af \u0995\u09cb\u09a8\u0993 \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09be\u09a3\u09c0 \u0996\u09c1\u09ac \u0995\u09ae\u0987 \u099b\u09bf\u09b2, \u09a4\u09be\u0987 \u09a4\u09be\u09b0 \u0995\u09cb\u09a8\u0993 \u09ac\u09bf\u09aa\u09a6 \u099b\u09bf\u09b2 \u09a8\u09be\u0964
\nHence, the monkey decided to visit the island every day.<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c1\u09a4\u09b0\u09be\u0982, \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0 \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09a4\u09bf\u09a6\u09bf\u09a8 \u098f\u0987 \u09a6\u09cd\u09ac\u09c0\u09aa\u099f\u09bf\u09a4\u09c7 \u09af\u09be\u0993\u09af\u09bc\u09be\u09b0 \u09b8\u09bf\u09a6\u09cd\u09a7\u09be\u09a8\u09cd\u09a4 \u09a8\u09bf\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

On the far bank of the river a big crocodile lived with his wife.<\/p>\n

\u09a8\u09a6\u09c0\u09b0 \u09a6\u09c2\u09b0\u09ac\u09b0\u09cd\u09a4\u09c0 \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09be\u09a8\u09cd\u09a4\u09c7 \u098f\u0995\u099f\u09bf \u09ac\u09a1\u09bc \u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0 \u09a4\u09be\u09b0 \u09b8\u09cd\u09a4\u09cd\u09b0\u09c0\u09b0 \u09b8\u09be\u09a5\u09c7 \u09a5\u09be\u0995\u09a4\u0964<\/p>\n

One day, he noticed the monkey crossing the river in his unique way.<\/p>\n

\u098f\u0995\u09a6\u09bf\u09a8 \u09b8\u09c7 \u09b2\u0995\u09cd\u09b7\u09cd\u09af \u0995\u09b0\u09b2 \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09a4\u09be\u0981\u09b0 \u0985\u09a8\u09a8\u09cd\u09af \u0989\u09aa\u09be\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09a8\u09a6\u09c0 \u09aa\u09be\u09b0 \u09b9\u099a\u09cd\u099b\u09bf\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

He told his wife, \u201cDid you see him ? Let\u2019s catch him tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c7 \u09a4\u09be\u09b0 \u09b8\u09cd\u09a4\u09cd\u09b0\u09c0\u0995\u09c7 \u09ac\u09b2\u09b2, \u201c\u09a4\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf \u0995\u09bf \u09a4\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u09a6\u09c7\u0996\u09c7\u099b ? \u099a\u09b2\u09cb \u0986\u0997\u09be\u09ae\u09c0\u0995\u09be\u09b2 \u09a4\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u09a7\u09b0\u09ac\u0964<\/p>\n

Next morning, however, the crocodile found that catching the monkey was not easy.<\/p>\n

\u09aa\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u09a6\u09bf\u09a8 \u09b8\u0995\u09be\u09b2\u09c7, \u09af\u09be\u0987 \u09b9\u09cb\u0995, \u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09a6\u09c7\u0996\u09b2 \u09af\u09c7 \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0\u099f\u09bf\u0995\u09c7 \u09a7\u09b0\u09be \u09b8\u09b9\u099c \u09a8\u09af\u09bc\u0964<\/p>\n

The monkey landed on the rock and in a flash jumped off onto the island.<\/p>\n

\u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u0989\u09aa\u09b0 \u09a8\u09c7\u09ae\u09c7 \u0997\u09c7\u09b2 \u098f\u09ac\u0982 \u09ae\u09c1\u09b9\u09c2\u09b0\u09cd\u09a4\u09ae\u09a7\u09cd\u09af\u09c7 \u099d\u09be\u0981\u09aa\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09aa\u09a1\u09bc\u09b2 \u09a6\u09cd\u09ac\u09c0\u09aa\u09c7\u0964<\/p>\n

Hiding behind the rock, the crocodile could only watch him.<\/p>\n

\u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u0986\u09a1\u09bc\u09be\u09b2\u09c7 \u09b2\u09c1\u0995\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0 \u0995\u09c7\u09ac\u09b2\u09ae\u09be\u09a4\u09cd\u09b0 \u09a4\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u09a6\u09c7\u0996\u09a4\u09c7 \u09b2\u09be\u0997\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

He returned home without his catch.<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c7 \u09a4\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u09a8\u09be \u09a7\u09b0\u09c7\u0987 \u09ac\u09be\u09a1\u09bc\u09bf\u09a4\u09c7 \u09ab\u09bf\u09b0\u09c7 \u098f\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

Days went by.<\/p>\n

\u09a6\u09bf\u09a8 \u0995\u09c7\u099f\u09c7 \u0997\u09c7\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

The crocodile thought of many plans to catch the monkey, but nothing worked.<\/p>\n

\u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0\u0995\u09c7 \u09a7\u09b0\u09be\u09b0 \u099c\u09a8\u09cd\u09af \u0985\u09a8\u09c7\u0995 \u09aa\u09b0\u09bf\u0995\u09b2\u09cd\u09aa\u09a8\u09be \u09a8\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7\u099b\u09bf\u09b2, \u0995\u09bf\u09a8\u09cd\u09a4\u09c1 \u0995\u09bf\u099b\u09c1\u0987 \u0995\u09be\u09b0\u09cd\u09af\u0995\u09b0 \u09b9\u09af\u09bc\u09a8\u09bf\u0964<\/p>\n

The monkey always escaped from his clutches.<\/p>\n

\u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0 \u09b8\u09b0\u09cd\u09ac\u09a6\u09be \u09a4\u09be\u09b0 \u0996\u09aa\u09cd\u09aa\u09b0 \u09a5\u09c7\u0995\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09b2\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09af\u09c7\u09a4\u0964<\/p>\n

One day his wife said, \u201cYou\u2019ve failed to catch the monkey, but I really want to taste his sweet flesh.<\/p>\n

\u098f\u0995\u09a6\u09bf\u09a8 \u09a4\u09be\u0981\u09b0 \u09b8\u09cd\u09a4\u09cd\u09b0\u09c0 \u09ac\u09b2\u09b2, \u201c\u09a4\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0\u099f\u09bf\u0995\u09c7 \u09a7\u09b0\u09a4\u09c7 \u09ac\u09cd\u09af\u09b0\u09cd\u09a5 \u09b9\u09af\u09bc\u09c7\u099b, \u09a4\u09ac\u09c7 \u0986\u09ae\u09bf \u09b8\u09a4\u09cd\u09af\u09bf\u0987 \u09a4\u09be\u09b0 \u09ae\u09bf\u09b7\u09cd\u099f\u09bf \u09ae\u09be\u0982\u09b8\u09c7\u09b0 \u09b8\u09cd\u09ac\u09be\u09a6 \u09a8\u09bf\u09a4\u09c7 \u099a\u09be\u0987\u0964<\/p>\n

So, this time, you must follow my plan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c1\u09a4\u09b0\u09be\u0982, \u098f\u0987 \u09ac\u09be\u09b0 \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u0986\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u09aa\u09b0\u09bf\u0995\u09b2\u09cd\u09aa\u09a8\u09be\u099f\u09bf \u0985\u09a8\u09c1\u09b8\u09b0\u09a3 \u0995\u09b0\u09a4\u09c7 \u09b9\u09ac\u09c7\u0964\u201d<\/p>\n

The crocodile said, \u201cRight, tell me the plan then.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09ac\u09b2\u09b2, \u201c\u09a0\u09bf\u0995 \u0986\u099b\u09c7, \u09a4\u09be\u09b9\u09b2\u09c7 \u0986\u09ae\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u09aa\u09b0\u09bf\u0995\u09b2\u09cd\u09aa\u09a8\u09be\u099f\u09bf \u09ac\u09b2\u0964\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe monkey jumps on that big rock in the river, \u201csaid the wife, \u201cYou must lie still on the rock.<\/p>\n

Next morning, as usual, the monkey jumped onto the rock and landed on the river island.<\/p>\n

\u09aa\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u09a6\u09bf\u09a8 \u09b8\u0995\u09be\u09b2\u09c7 \u09af\u09a5\u09be\u09b0\u09c0\u09a4\u09bf \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09b2\u09be\u09ab\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u0989\u09aa\u09b0\u09c7 \u099d\u09be\u0981\u09aa\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09a8\u09a6\u09c0\u09b0 \u09a6\u09cd\u09ac\u09c0\u09aa\u09c7 \u09a8\u09c7\u09ae\u09c7 \u0997\u09c7\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

Seeing this, the crocodile swam to the rock.<\/p>\n

\u098f\u0987 \u09a6\u09c7\u0996\u09c7, \u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u09a6\u09bf\u0995\u09c7 \u09b8\u09be\u0981\u09a4\u09be\u09b0\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u0995\u09be\u099b\u09c7 \u0997\u09c7\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

He lay still on the rock, keeping his head and tail well underwater.<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c7 \u09ae\u09be\u09a5\u09be \u098f\u09ac\u0982 \u09b2\u09c7\u099c \u099c\u09b2\u09c7\u09b0 \u09a8\u09bf\u099a\u09c7 \u09b0\u09c7\u0996\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u0989\u09aa\u09b0 \u09b6\u09c1\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09b0\u0987\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

Only his back was above water and it looked like a part of the rock.<\/p>\n

\u0995\u09c7\u09ac\u09b2\u09ae\u09be\u09a4\u09cd\u09b0 \u09a4\u09be\u09b0 \u09aa\u09bf\u09a0\u099f\u09bf \u099c\u09b2\u09c7\u09b0 \u0989\u09aa\u09b0\u09c7 \u099b\u09bf\u09b2 \u098f\u09ac\u0982 \u098f\u099f\u09bf \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u098f\u0995\u099f\u09bf \u0985\u0982\u09b6\u09c7\u09b0 \u09ae\u09a4\u09cb\u0987 \u09a6\u09c7\u0996\u09be\u099a\u09cd\u099b\u09bf\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

After having a good meal, the monkey decided to return.<\/p>\n

\u09ad\u09be\u09b2 \u0996\u09be\u09ac\u09be\u09b0 \u0996\u09c7\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0 \u09ab\u09bf\u09b0\u09c7 \u0986\u09b8\u09be\u09b0 \u09b8\u09bf\u09a6\u09cd\u09a7\u09be\u09a8\u09cd\u09a4 \u09a8\u09bf\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

He looked at the rock.<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u09a6\u09bf\u0995\u09c7 \u09a4\u09be\u0995\u09be\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

\u201cStrange! The rock has become so large!\u201d, he thought,\u201d It wasn\u2019t so big when I came here.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u0986\u09b6\u09cd\u099a\u09b0\u09cd\u09af! \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u099f\u09be \u098f\u09a4 \u09ac\u09a1\u09bc \u09b9\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u0997\u09c7\u099b\u09c7!\u201d, \u09b8\u09c7 \u09ad\u09be\u09ac\u09b2,\u201d \u0986\u09ae\u09bf \u098f\u0996\u09be\u09a8\u09c7 \u0986\u09b8\u09be\u09b0 \u09b8\u09ae\u09af\u09bc \u098f\u09a4 \u09ac\u09a1\u09bc \u099b\u09bf\u09b2 \u09a8\u09be\u0964<\/p>\n

Possibly that crocodile is playing a trick again. He\u2019s lying there, pretending to be a rock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09ae\u09cd\u09ad\u09ac\u09a4 \u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0 \u0986\u09ac\u09be\u09b0\u0993 \u098f\u0995\u099f\u09bf \u0995\u09cc\u09b6\u09b2 \u09a8\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7\u099b\u09c7\u0964 \u09b8\u09c7 \u09b8\u09c7\u0996\u09be\u09a8\u09c7 \u09b6\u09c1\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u0986\u099b\u09c7, \u09b6\u09bf\u09b2\u09be \u09b9\u0993\u09af\u09bc\u09be\u09b0 \u09ad\u09be\u09a8 \u0995\u09b0\u09c7\u0964 \u201d<\/p>\n

The monkey made up his mind very quickly.<\/p>\n

\u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0 \u0996\u09c1\u09ac \u09a6\u09cd\u09b0\u09c1\u09a4 \u09ae\u09a8\u09c7 \u09ae\u09a8\u09c7 \u09a4\u09c8\u09b0\u09bf \u09b9\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09a8\u09bf\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c7 \u099a\u09c7\u0981\u099a\u09bf\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09ac\u09b2\u09b2, \u201c\u09b9\u09cd\u09af\u09be\u09b2\u09cb, \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0! \u0986\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u09aa\u09cd\u09b0\u09bf\u09af\u09bc \u09ac\u09a8\u09cd\u09a7\u09c1! \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u0986\u099c\u0995\u09c7 \u0985\u09a8\u09c7\u0995 \u09ac\u09a1\u09bc \u09a6\u09c7\u0996\u09be\u099a\u09cd\u099b\u09c7\u0964<\/p>\n

And you didn\u2019t welcome me today as you always do.<\/p>\n

\u098f\u09ac\u0982 \u09a4\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf \u0986\u099c \u0986\u09ae\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u09b8\u09cd\u09ac\u09be\u0997\u09a4\u09be \u099c\u09be\u09a8\u09be\u0993 \u09a8\u09bf \u09af\u09c7\u09ae\u09a8\u099f\u09be \u09a4\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf \u09b8\u09b0\u09cd\u09ac\u09a6\u09be \u0995\u09b0\u09cb\u0964<\/p>\n

Are you angry with me ?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u09a4\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf \u0995\u09c0 \u0986\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u0989\u09aa\u09b0 \u09b0\u09be\u0997 \u0995\u09b0\u09c7\u099b ?\u201d<\/p>\n

Hearing him, the crocodile thought : \u201cPerhaps this rock really talks to the monkey.<\/p>\n

\u09a4\u09be\u0981\u09b0 \u0995\u09a5\u09be \u09b6\u09c1\u09a8\u09c7 \u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u09ad\u09be\u09ac\u09b2: \u201c\u09b9\u09af\u09bc\u09a4\u09cb \u098f\u0987 \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u099f\u09be \u09b8\u09a4\u09cd\u09af\u09bf\u0987 \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u09b8\u09be\u09a5\u09c7 \u0995\u09a5\u09be \u09ac\u09b2\u09c7\u0964\u201d<\/p>\n

I should speak to him posing as the rock, otherwise he might suspect something.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u0986\u09ae\u09be\u09b0\u0993 \u09a4\u09be\u0981\u09b0 \u09b8\u09be\u09a5\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0\u09c7\u09b0 \u09ae\u09a4\u09cb \u09ad\u0999\u09cd\u0997\u09bf \u0995\u09b0\u09c7 \u0995\u09a5\u09be \u09ac\u09b2\u09be \u0989\u099a\u09bf\u09a4, \u0985\u09a8\u09cd\u09af\u09a5\u09be\u09af\u09bc \u09b8\u09c7 \u0995\u09bf\u099b\u09c1 \u09b8\u09a8\u09cd\u09a6\u09c7\u09b9 \u0995\u09b0\u09a4\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09b0\u09c7\u0964\u201d<\/p>\n

So he said, \u201cNo, no, my friend. You\u2019re always welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u09a4\u09be\u0987 \u09b8\u09c7 \u09ac\u09b2\u09b2, \u201c\u09a8\u09be, \u09a8\u09be, \u0986\u09ae\u09be\u09b0 \u09ac\u09a8\u09cd\u09a7\u09c1\u0964 \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u09b8\u09b0\u09cd\u09ac\u09a6\u09be \u09b8\u09cd\u09ac\u09be\u0997\u09a4 \u099c\u09be\u09a8\u09be\u0987\u0964\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you aren\u2019t angry, why are you looking so different ?\u201d said the monkey.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u09a4\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf \u09af\u09a6\u09bf \u09b0\u09be\u0997 \u09a8\u09be \u0995\u09b0\u09c7 \u09a5\u09be\u0995\u09cb, \u09a4\u09ac\u09c7 \u0995\u09c7\u09a8 \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u098f\u09a4 \u0986\u09b2\u09be\u09a6\u09be \u09a6\u09c7\u0996\u09be\u099a\u09cd\u099b\u09c7 ? \u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0 \u09ac\u09b2\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

At this, the crocodile got impatient.<\/p>\n

\u098f\u09a4\u09c7 \u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0\u099f\u09bf \u0985\u09a7\u09c8\u09b0\u09cd\u09af \u09b9\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u0989\u09a0\u09b2\u0964<\/p>\n

He raised his head above water and said, \u201cI\u2019m not a rock, you stupid! I\u2019m a crocodile.<\/p>\n

\u09b8\u09c7 \u099c\u09b2\u09c7\u09b0 \u0989\u09aa\u09b0\u09c7 \u09ae\u09be\u09a5\u09be \u09a4\u09c1\u09b2\u09c7 \u09ac\u09b2\u09b2, \u201c\u0986\u09ae\u09bf \u09aa\u09be\u09a5\u09b0 \u09a8\u0987, \u09ac\u09cb\u0995\u09be! \u0986\u09ae\u09bf \u0995\u09c1\u09ae\u09bf\u09b0\u0964<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to eat you up very soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u0986\u09ae\u09bf \u09b6\u09c0\u0998\u09cd\u09b0\u0987 \u09a4\u09cb\u09ae\u09be\u0995\u09c7 \u0996\u09c7\u09af\u09bc\u09c7 \u09ab\u09c7\u09b2\u09ac\u09cb\u0964\u201d<\/p>\n

The monkey realized that he could not return home like all other days.<\/p>\n

\u09ac\u09be\u09a8\u09b0 \u09ac\u09c1\u099d\u09a4\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09b0\u09b2 \u09af\u09c7 \u09b8\u09c7 \u0985\u09a8\u09cd\u09af \u09a6\u09bf\u09a8\u09c7\u09b0 \u09ae\u09a4\u09cb \u0998\u09b0\u09c7 \u09ab\u09bf\u09b0\u09a4\u09c7 \u09aa\u09be\u09b0\u09ac\u09c7 \u09a8\u09be\u0964<\/p>\n

So he made another plan.<\/p>\n
