He had a hard time, and his hands were cut in many places. The Monkey could not eat all the bananas, for there were enough to last a good-sized family several days but he ate all what he can, and by and by came down the tree with great difficulty, for the glass was so sharp that it cut even the tough hand of the Monkey. That was why the Turtle chose it for his hiding-place. This shell had a hole in the top to allow the air to enter. Then he hid himself under a cocoanut-shell not far away. While the Monkey was having a good time, and filling his stomach, the Turtle gathered sharp, broken pieces of glass, and stuck them, one by one, all around the banana-tree.

Don't you see the bananas hanging on that banana-tree?. Before they had gone far, the Monkey saw a large bunch of yellow bananas on a tree at a distance. They soon became good friends and chatted along the way, so that the time passed quickly. I too am hungry, said the Monkey and since we are both hungry, let us go together and hunt food for our stomachs' sake.

I am going to find something to eat, for I have had no food for three whole days, said the Turtle. One day a Monkey met a Turtle on the road, and asked, Where are you going?
