Once upon a time, there was a monkey that met a crab and they traveled together in the jungle.

The active monkey found a fruit seed and the crab found a rice ball.

The monkey was greedy and said to the crab, “Dear crab, let us exchange what we have!”

The crab agreed, so the monkey exchanged his seed for the crabs rice ball. He quickly swallowed the rice ball.

As for the crab, he went back home and sowed the seed in the open field in front of his house. He watered the plant carefully. The plant grew day by day.

When summer came, the crab took shelter under the tree that was now filled with branches and leaves. When autumn came, the tree was fully grown with fruit. The crab was able to enjoy the fruit every year.

很久以前,有一只猴子和一只螃蟹相遇了,它們结伴到丛林里去游玩。

蹦蹦跳跳的猴子捡到一颗水果的种子,螃蟹则捡到一个饭团。

猴子因为贪吃,便对螃蟹说:“亲爱的螃蟹,我们交换捡到的东西吧。”

螃蟹同意了。于是,猴子用自己的种子换了螃蟹的饭团,然后张开大嘴把饭团吃了。

而螃蟹回到家后,把那颗种子种在屋前的空地上。它很细心地给长出来的树苗浇水, 树苗一天天长高了。

到了夏天,螃蟹在枝叶茂盛的树下乘凉。到了秋天,树上结满了果实。从此以后,螃蟹年年都有果子吃。
