The other apes , seeing that the turtle was not to be trifled with , ran off , leaving their young brother to his fate . Then the turtle said to the monkey , ` If you will be quiet , and do what I tell you , I wo n't hurt you . But you must get on my back and come with me . ' The monkey , seeing there was no help for it , did as he was bid ; indeed he could not have resisted , as his hand was still in the turtle 's mouth . Delighted at having secured his prize , the turtle hastened back to the shore and plunged quickly into the water . He swam faster than he had ever done before , and soon reached the royal palace . Shouts of joy broke forth from the attendants when he was seen approaching , and some of them ran to tell the queen that the monkey was there , and that before long she would be as well as ever she was . In fact , so great was their relief that they gave the monkey such a kind welcome , and were so anxious to make him happy and comfortable , that he soon forgot all the fears that had beset him as to his fate , and was generally quite at his ease , though every now and then a fit of home-sickness would come over him , and he would hide himself in some dark corner till it had passed away . It was during one of these attacks of sadness that a jelly-fish happened to swim by . At that time jelly-fishes had shells . At the sight of the gay and lively monkey crouching under a tall rock , with his eyes closed and his head bent , the jelly-fish was filled with pity , and stopped , saying , ` Ah , poor fellow , no wonder you weep ; a few days more , and they will come and kill you and give your liver to the queen to eat . ' The monkey shrank back horrified at these words and asked the jelly-fish what crime he had committed that deserved death . ` Oh , none at all , ' replied the jelly-fish , ` but your liver is the only thing that will cure our queen , and how can we get at it without killing you ? You had better submit to your fate , and make no noise about it , for though I pity you from my heart there is no way of helping you . ' Then he went away , leaving the ape cold with horror . At first he felt as if his liver was already being taken from his body , but soon he began to wonder if there was no means of escaping this terrible death , and at length he invented a plan which he thought would do . For a few days he pretended to be gay and happy as before , but when the sun went in , and rain fell in torrents , he wept and howled from dawn to dark , till the turtle , who was his head keeper , heard him , and came to see what was the matter . Then the monkey told him that before he left home he had hung his liver out on a bush to dry , and if it was always going to rain like this it would become quite useless . And the rogue made such a fuss and moaning that he would have melted a heart of stone , and nothing would content him but that somebody should carry him back to land and let him fetch his liver again . The queen 's councillors were not the wisest of people , and they decided between them that the turtle should take the monkey back to his native land and allow him to get his liver off the bush , but desired the turtle not to lose sight of his charge for a single moment .
The monkey knew this , but trusted to his power XXXXX beguiling the turtle when the time came , and mounted on his back with feelings of joy , which he was , however , careful to conceal .
