Think Before You Shake Hands. Poem by gnrao rao

river was there,
A crocodile was there.
on the bank was a tree,
bearing many fruits.
On one of the branches,
was a monkey.
Happily eating
and enjoying the fruits.
Crocodile saw the monkey.
friends they became.
Crocodile requested
to drop some fruits.
Fruits it had,
and took a fee
to his wife.
Wife happy after,
eating the fruits,
To call the monkey
for dinner.
The foolish crocodile
invited the monkey
to his house for dinner.
Monkey didn't know
how to swim,
Crocodile carried him
on his back,
In the middle of the trip,
Asked what was the special
reason for dinner,
Crocodile told him
the fruits that his wife
ate were very sweet.
She wanted to eat
the sweet heart of the monkey.
Monkey used his presence of
mind
and the crocodile
to take him back
to the tree
where he hung is heart
for drying.
Believing tat
crocodile returned
to the tree.
Monkey jumped and
never came back,
and scolded the
crocodile
as' you ungrateful
Fellow'.
Why did you try
to harm your friend?
