Don’t worry, my friend, just sit on my back and I shall carry you, “ Karo cunningly offered him. The poor monkey sat jumped on his friend's back and off they went. Ram, was having a lot of fun when he saw that Karo was very sad and quiet. The monkey asked, Why are you so quiet my friend? Karo replied. Because your life is short. My wife wants to eat your heart and that is why we’re going to her. Ram was shocked but could not run. He came up with a plan in his mind and said, Why did you tell me before? I always leave my heart in the tree when I go out. “ Oh, no." cried Karo. “Now, what can we do?“. Let’s go back and take it, said the clever monkey.
