    The Monkey and the Fish

    Once, a group of people went on a sea voyage. One of them brought along his pet monkey. In the middle of the sea, a big storm hit them, and the ship broke apart. Everyone fell into the water. The monkey thought he was drowning and dying. But a fish took the monkey on its back and brought him to shore. The monkey got off, and the fish asked, “Do you know this place?” The monkey said, “Yes! The king here is my friend because I am a prince myself.” The fish was surprised by the monkey’s lies and said, “Oh, really! Then you are a prince!” The fish knew that no one lived in that place. So, it said, “Yes, stay here. You will be the king here.” (How?!)… The monkey asked. The fish, swimming away, said, “The answer is very simple because you are the only living creature here.”
