☆☆☆☆☆The story of the monkey and the turtle starts out with the monkey and the turtle both being hungry, and the monkey suggests that they go and find food together. They talk along the way, and eventually see a banana tree. They monkey goes up in the tree where there is way too much for him to eat, but he doesn't throw any down for the turtle. He just eats and eats, and doesn't even leave the peel. The Turtle gets angry, and places shards of grass into the trunk of the tree to teach the monkey a lesson, and hides nearby. Eventually the monkey comes down and cuts himself, and is very angry and wants to kill the turtle. The monkey finds the turtle, and wants to either grind him to powder or burn him in the fire. He asks the turtle which he would prefer, and when the turtle realizes that the monkey won't be talked out of killing him, he tells the monkey that either way is fine with him, as long as he doesn't drown him in the river.
The monkey throws the turtle in the river, and the turtle laughs at him, telling the monkey that the water is his home. The monkey is angry and jumps in after him and drowns. And that is why monkeys and turtles don't get along.

The theme of the fable "The Monkey and the Turtle" is to not be selfish. The story shows that the consequences of selfishness can leave you with nothing in the end.
Their conflict is that the monkey climb the tree of turtle which is bear a fruit but sad to say the greedy and selfishness monkey cheat to the turtle and never give fruit to the turtle that waiting to the ground.
all the monkeys were plunged into the water and they never tome up again.
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.
