The monkey is happy but something still feels incomplete. He does not have a friend to talk to and share the fruits with. So, he longs for one. However, one fine day, a crocodile comes there. The monkey offers him fruit to eat.
The crocodile accepts and finds the fruit to be really delicious. Thus, he begins visiting the monkey regularly and eat fruits with him. Now, their bond turns stronger and they become close. While the crocodile eats the fruits himself, he also carries some of them for his wife.
The monkey and crocodile talk about everything from birds to animals. Further, they also talk about the villagers nearby and the difficulty they have in raising good crops because of the lack of rain.
Soon, the monkey realizes the situation and fools him. He tells him he has left his heart at the tree so he must go back to get it. When they reach the riverbank, the monkey quickly jumps back on the tree.
The Monkey and the Crocodile Summary teaches us that we must never underestimate ourselves just like the monkey. Even though he did not have the upper hand, he saved himself from the situation by being wise.

A high-class couple was living next to the same river - Sir Crocodile and Lady Crocodile. They were expecting their first brood of baby crocks. Because she was pregnant Lady Crocodile sometimes wished for strange things to eat. So she made unusual demands on her faithful husband.
Sir Crocodile thought, "No doubt on other days this rock used to talk to the monkey. I can't wait any longer for this dumb rock to speak! I will just have to speak for the rock, and trick the monkey." So he shouted, "I'm fine, Mr. Monkey. What do you want?"
Written by Vikram Seth in a simple, yet impactful language, the crocodile and the monkey are a poem which is for children on the surface but has a deep-rooted meaning. Through animals, it has portrayed some of the most popular, yet intricate human relationships. From unlikely friendships to betrayals, a monkey and a crocodile express it in their own way. Even the wicked, greedy wife of the crocodile expresses traits of greed, lust for more, and manipulation. To the young readers, the easy melody of the poem because of its AABB rhyme scheme will leave an impression, and to the more mature reader, the themes of the complexities of human interactions will appeal to. Overall, the poem is a light read with an underlying deep meaning to it.
Usually monkey would sit on the branches of the fruit trees and chat with his friend Crocodile who would be basking on the banks of the river. Their friendship continued for a long time until they decided it was time to introduce their wives to this friendship. "We have been friends for a long time and you don't even know my house, Crocodile began.
"That is not a problem. I can always carry you on my back," responded crocodile. "Let us visit my house first. My wife is a very good cook," Monkey argued. "No" replied Crocodile "My wife has had a baby and there is plenty to eat in the house."
"Let us not argue about this," Monkey said."If we go to my house first, my wife will not be anxious when I tell her I am going across the waters to visit you." They agreed that they would visit Monkey's house first. Though at first Monkey's wife was afraid of crocodile, she later realized that Crocodile was very friendly. She did not have problems with her husband visiting him. In fact she wished she would join him.
