MONKEY BECAME TRICKSTER
He took a big bite. What a face he made! That beautiful sweet smelling fruit was bitter and sour, and it had a nasty taste. He threw it away from him as far as he could.
The monkey never forgot the tree's long hard name and the little tune he had sung. Nor did he forget how the fruit tasted. He never took a bite of it again; but, after, that, his favourite trick was to treat the other beasts to the wonderful fruit just to see them make faces when they tasted it.
