inquired the shark again . ' I was thinking what a pity it was you did not tell me while I was still on land , and then I would have brought my heart with me . ' ` Your heart ! Why is n't your heart here ? ' said the shark , with a puzzled expression . ` Oh , no ! Of course not . Is it possible you do n't know that when we leave home we always hang up our hearts on trees , to prevent their being troublesome ? However , perhaps you wo n't believe that , and will just think I have invented it because I am afraid , so let us go on to your country as fast as we can , and when we arrive you can look for my heart , and if you find it you can kill me . ' The monkey spoke in such a calm , indifferent way that the shark was quite deceived , and began to wish he had not been in such a hurry . ` But there is no use going on if your heart is not with you , ' he said at last . ` We had better turn back to the town , and then you can fetch it . ' Of course , this was just what the monkey wanted , but he was careful not to seem too pleased . ` Well , I do n't know , ' he remarked carelessly , ` it is such a long way ; but you may be right . ' ' I am sure I am , ' answered the shark , ` and I will swim as quickly as I can , ' and so he did , and in three days they caught sight of the kuyu tree hanging over the water . With a sigh of relief the monkey caught hold of the nearest branch and swung himself up . ` Wait for me here , ' he called out to the shark . ' I am so hungry I must have a little breakfast , and then I will go and look for my heart , ' and he went further and further into the branches so that the shark could not see him . Then he curled himself up and went to sleep . ` Are you there ? '
cried the XXXXX , who was soon tired of swimming about under the cliff , and was in haste to be gone .
