As soon as they brought in the chest , the jogi , who had been getting very cross and impatient , told them to put it down , and to go outside whilst he opened the magic chest . ` And even if you hear cries and sounds , however alarming , you must on no account enter , ' said the jogi , walking over to a closet where lay the silken cord that was to strangle the princess . And the two pupils did as they were told , and went outside and shut close all the doors . Presently they heard a great outcry within and the jogi 's voice crying aloud for help ; but they dared not enter , for had they not been told that whatever the noise , they must not come in ? So they sat outside , waiting and wondering ; and at last all grew still and quiet , and remained so for such a long time that they determined to enter and see if all was well . No sooner had they opened the door leading into the courtyard than they were nearly upset by a huge monkey that came leaping straight to the doorway and escaped past them into the open fields . Then they stepped into the room , and there they saw the jogi 's body lying torn to pieces on the threshold of his dwelling ! Very soon the story spread , as stories will , and reached the ears of the princess and her husband , and when she knew that her enemy was dead she made her peace with her father . From Major Campbell , Feroshepore . The Heart of a Monkey A long time ago a little town made up of a collection of low huts stood in a tiny green valley at the foot of a cliff . Of course the people had taken great care to build their houses out of reach of the highest tide which might be driven on shore by a west wind , but on the very edge of the town there had sprung up a tree so large that half its boughs hung over the huts and the other half over the deep sea right under the cliff , where sharks loved to come and splash in the clear water . The branches of the tree itself were laden with fruit , and every day at sunrise a big grey monkey might have been seen sitting in the topmost branches having his breakfast , and chattering to himself with delight . After he had eaten all the fruit on the town side of the tree the monkey swung himself along the branches to the part which hung over the water . While he was looking out for a nice shady place where he might perch comfortably he noticed a shark watching him from below with greedy eyes . ` Can I do anything for you , my friend ? ' asked the monkey politely . ` Oh ! if you only would thrown me down some of those delicious things , I should be so grateful , ' answered the shark . ` After you have lived on fish for fifty years you begin to feel you would like a change . And I am so very , very tired of the taste of salt . '
` Well , I do n't like salt myself , ' said the monkey ; ` so if you will open your mouth I will throw this beautiful juicy kuyu XXXXX it , ' and , as he spoke , he pulled one off the branch just over his head .
