Japanese folk story: Monkeys and Crabs

on a clear day, a monkey was walking on the road.

walking, suddenly i felt so hungry.

so it went, "well, it would be nice if it could find something good on the ground!" "there it is! there it is." "the monkey found a tomato seed." but it looked at the seeds and shook its head and said, "no! the seed was too small to eat at all, so the monkey took the seed and kept walking.

suddenly, when the monkey saw the end of the road, a big rice troupe slowly rolled over to him, and he ran away, trying to catch that troupe, and thought, "it's amazing! it must be delicious.

eat it and not get hungry." the hungry monkeys were snorting while slowing their feet and running forward, hoping to get the good and well-fed rice.

"no! no!" the monkey heard a little voice in front of the rice troupe saying, "this is my rice troupe! you can't take it away!" it looked at it, and it was a little crab crab who was working hard on that rice troupe.

the monkey said, "but i'm hungry! give me some! the big crab shook his head and said, "no! i can't share the meal with you because if i give it to you, there's nothing to eat at home for my crab babies." "well, i'll use the tomato seeds i found on the road for the rice troupe." the monkey had a very sad face, and the crab looked at the seed and said, "no! the monkey goes on to say, "but if you plant the seed in the dirt and water it with hard work, soon it can grow into a big tree and eat many tomatoes every day!" and this little grub ate, but nothing left." after listening to the monkey, the crab felt that the monkey was not only right, but also very smart.

so it swapped the little tomato seed with a rice crotch and a monkey.

and the monkey thought, "it's going so well, this stupid crab! it's so easy to be fooled.

now i can enjoy the fragrance! as soon as the monkeys got the rice, they went to their place, opened their mouths, and they ate the rice.

"it's delicious!" the monkey beats the belly and says to the crab, "mom big crab! you have to plant the seeds in the dirt! and remember the water.

soon you and your big crab babies will be able to eat lots of sweet tomatoes." after the monkey said it, he laughed away.

mother crab didn't know she was into it, and she looked at the seed as a baby, and she thought, "i brought back such a good seed, and the babies would be very happy." when mama big crab came home, she was happy to be able to tell the crab babies, and thenShe led the little crabs to the yard, very carefully burying the tomato seeds in the dirt and watering them very carefully.

"Sprout! Sprouts! If you don't sprouts fast, we'll cut you in half with sharp scissors." The crabs are sung around the seeds, hoping that the seeds will grow and grow.

And when the seeds buried in the earth heard so much fear, they tried to absorb the water, and grew so desperately, because what a terrible thing would it be if they were cut off! Soon the seeds came out green, and the crabs were singing around the bud: "Spring! Grow up! If you don't grow up soon! We'll cut your bud off with sharp scissors." The bud listens to the crabs, grows harder and soon grows into a big, tall grapefruit tree.

The more the tomatoes grow, the more they grow, the more the crabs start to sing, "Big tree! Big Tree! Grow up the sweet and sweet tomatoes! Otherwise, we'll cut your leaves off with sharp scissors and cut off your trunk." The great crabs were singing while pouring water, and shortly after, the tomatoes were so full of tomatoes, and the hungry crabs were so happy to see the good fruit of the trees that they finally reaped the fruits of their hard watering and singing.

"I'm hungry! But the trees are too tall to get good tomatoes." The crab mother moved a long ladder, and the crab babies used long bamboo poles in the hope of picking tomatoes from the trees, but the tomatoes were too tall, and the crabs were standing under the tomatoes tree and were reluctant to look at the tomatoes hanging high on the trees.

At a time when the crabs were very disappointed, the cunning monkey saw the good tomatoes and was very happy to come down to the tomato tree.

"This tomato tree is so tall! You can't pick tomatoes, can you? I'm good at climbing trees! Let me get you some tomatoes!" "Really? That's so sweet! Then please take the tomatoes for us! We're starving!" So the crabs stood under the tree and watched the monkeys crawl on the short tomatoes.

After the monkey climbed the tomato tree, he was happy to say, "There are so many tomatoes in the tree! It's amazing! It's gonna be amazing!" The greedy monkeys eat while the crab mothers and the crab babies stand under the tree and spit.

"Mr.

Monkey! Don't just eat tomatoes! We're starving! Pick up some ripe tomatoes and throw them down a tree for us to eat! You said you'd help us with the tomatoes, didn't you?" The big crabs speak out to the monkeys in the trees.

But the monkeys are selfishly eating good tomatoes, pretending to hear what the crabs say under the tree.

Mama Crab and the Crab Baby are getting hungry, and they keep screaming to the monkeys in the tree: "You're bad!" A man eating on a tree! We're hungry too! You should pick some tomatoes and throw them at usThat's right." The monkey listened, and he said, "Think! You guys want some tomatoes? Then eat this crotch!" After that, a lot of tomatoes were picked and thrown hard on the crabs under the tree! A hard and thick tomato hit the crab mother under the tree, who was tired and hungry, and passed out on the ground immediately after being hit by a tomato.

Big crab babies were surprised.

"Mom! What's wrong? Wake up! Mom, you can't die!" The big crab baby cried and brought home the fainted crab mother.

It's a good thing that Mama Crab didn't get beaten to death, and the sad Crab Baby took care of her very carefully, hoping that she would be able to recover a little early。
