以下是《猴子和鳄鱼》的原文和翻译：
Once upon a time, a monkey lived in a tree by a river. One day, he saw a crocodile swimming in the river. The crocodile said to the monkey, "Hello, monkey. Would you like to come to my home on the other side of the river? I have some delicious fruit there."
The monkey was very happy to hear this. He loved fruit and wanted to try some new kinds. So he jumped onto the crocodile's back and they started to swim across the river.
But when they were halfway across, the crocodile said, "Monkey, I'm sorry, but I have to eat you. My wife is very sick and she needs to eat a monkey's heart to get better."
The monkey was very scared. He didn't want to be eaten by the crocodile. So he thought quickly and said, "Oh no! I left my heart in the tree where I live. Can you take me back so I can get it?"
The crocodile believed the monkey and turned around to take him back to the tree. When they got there, the monkey jumped off the crocodile's back and climbed up into the tree.
"Ha ha!" laughed the monkey. "You can't eat me now! I tricked you!"
The crocodile was very angry, but he knew he had been tricked. He swam away, and the monkey was safe in his tree once again.
从前，有一只猴子住在河边的一棵树上。一天，他看见一只鳄鱼在河里游泳。鳄鱼对猴子说：“你好，猴子。你想不想到我在河对岸的家里来？我那里有一些美味的水果。”
猴子听了非常高兴。他喜欢水果，也想尝试一些新品种。于是他跳上了鳄鱼的背上，他们开始游过河。
但是当他们游到一半时，鳄鱼说：“猴子，很抱歉，但我必须吃掉你。我的妻子生病了，她需要吃一只猴子的心才能好起来。”
猴子非常害怕。他不想被鳄鱼吃掉。所以他很快地想了想，说：“哦不！我把我的心落在了我住的树上。你能带我回去拿吗？”
鳄鱼相信了猴子，并转身带他回到了树上。当他们到达时，猴子跳下了鳄鱼的背上，爬上了树。
“哈哈！”猴子笑道。“你现在不能吃我了！我欺骗了你！”
鳄鱼非常生气，但他知道自己被欺骗了。他游走了，而猴子又安全地回到了他的树上。
