Ep. 517 - How The Monkey Got Food When He Was Hungry - A Brazilian Folktale
Once upon a time, the monkey was hungry. He wanted to make some porridge, but he did not have any money to buy meal to make the porridge. So he went to the house of the hen to borrow some meal. The hen gave him some meal.
“Come to my house tomorrow at one o’clock,” he said to the hen, “I’ll pay back the meal then.”
Then the monkey went to the house of the fox and said, “O, friend fox, please lend me some meal. Come to my house tomorrow at two o’clock and I’ll pay you then.” The fox gave him some meal.
