Let's go see those silly animals and make sure they know the truth," said the monkey. Together, they started down the path toward the watering hole. They had only gone a few steps down the path when the monkey grabbed his leg and cried. "What is wrong with you?" growled the lion. "I stepped on a sharp rock. I am afraid that I can't walk back with you," said the monkey. "You have to tell all the animals that you really are afraid of me," said the lion. "Well, I could make it if you would let me ride on your back," said the monkey. The lion agreed and the monkey got on the lion's back and started walking down the path. They had only gone a few steps when the monkey cried out. "What is wrong?" asked the lion. "I'm having a hard time sitting on your back. It is very lumpy! It would help if I had a saddle," said the monkey. The lion helped the monkey make a saddle out of palm leaves. The monkey sat on the saddle and said, "This is much better! Let's go!" They had only gone a few steps when the monkey cried out. "What is wrong?" growled the lion. "I'm afraid of falling out of the saddle. It would help if I had something to hold," cried the monkey. The lion helped the monkey tie some wine around his neck. "This is much better! Let's go," said the monkey. Also, read The Noble Monkey. They had gone a few more steps when the monkey again cried out. "What is it now?" said the lion. "There are a lot of flies around here. I need something to swat them away," said the monkey. The lion got a large leafy branch and gave it to the monkey. "Thank you, lion! This will help," said the lion. "Let's go!" As the monkey and the lion got close to the watering hole, the monkey sat up high in the saddle, grabbed the vines, swatted the lion with the leafy, and yelled, "YEAH!" The lion was so surprised that he ran very fast. He ran so fast that he ran right past the watering hole where all the animals were gathered. "Come on you lazy lion, it's no time to rest!" yelled the monkey. All the animals started to laugh as they saw the monkey on the lion's back. As they went past the watering hole, the monkey swung off the lion's back and into the trees. The laughter of the animals rang in the lion's ears as he ran down the path. He never came back to that part of the jungle. He may still be running and the clever monkey may still be laughing. Also read, The Bird And The Monkeys.
