One day long ago,some people set out to sea in their sailing ship.One of them brought his pet monkey along for the long journey.
When they were far out at sea,a terrible storm turned their ship over.Everyone fell into the sea,and the monkey was sure that he would drown.Suddenly a dolphin(海豚) appeared and picked him up.
They soon got to the island and the monkey came down from the dolphin's back.The dolphin asked the monkey,"Do you know this place?"
The monkey replied,"Yes,I do.In fact,the king of the island is my best friend.Do you know that I'm actually a prince (王子)?"
Knowing that no one lived on the island,the dolphin said,"Well,well,you're a prince!Now you can be a king!"
The monkey asked,"How can I be a king?"
As the dolphin started swimming away,he answered,"That's easy.As you are the only creature on this island,you will naturally be the king!"
Those who tell lies (谎言) and talk with too much pride may end up in trouble.
