The Monkey and the Dolphin
One day long ago, some sailors set out to sea in their sailing ship. One of them brought his pet
monkey along for the journey. When they were far out at sea, a terrible storm overtured their ship.
Everyone fell into the sea and the monkey was sure he would drown Suddenly, a dolphin appeared
and picked him up. They soon reached an island and the monkey came down from the dolphin's back
The dolphin asked the monkey. "Do you know this place?"
The monkey replied, "Yes, I do. In fact, the king of the island is my best friend. Do you know
that I am actually a prince?
Knowing that no one lived on the island, the dolphin said, "Well, well, so you are a prince! Now
you can be a king!" the dolphin swam away and said, "As you are the only creature on this island, you
will naturally be the king!
