What was the plot of the monkey and the turtle?

Answer 1

For me, the plot or the main point of the story was that pride will always bring you down. We all know that the rabbit was faster than the turtle but he was so boastful. The turtle on the other hand was humble and consistent. Consistency and humility triumphed over pride and arrogance.

Answer 2

The plot is that

• The monkey is sad and finds the turtle
• The monkey wants food
• The two of them plant seeds in the ground, for banana's
• The turtle's tree is well looked after, unlike the monkey's ( he mustn't have looked after it well)
• The monkey takes the ripe banana's from the turtle's tree and leaves turtle with the green ones
• While the monkey is having a nap after eating, the turtle gets some sharp bamboo and lays it out on the ground below the monkey ( the monkey had climbed the tree to get the banana's) and tells him that a crocodile is coming. He was so shocked that he fell out of the tree and landed on the bamboo, dying.
• The turtle lets the monkey dry up and then cuts him up and lets the other monkeys eat him
• The other monkeys find out they are eating one of their own and chuck the turtle in the water, leaving him sinking.
• The turtle comes out of the water with a lobster and the other monkeys are impressed and so they ask the turtle how he did it.
• * The turtle says he tied a rock to one side of a rope, and tied a rock to the other side of the rope, then he sank. The other monkey's try it and they never come out of the water.

The story says that this is why monkey don't eat meat because they remember this ancient story.
