This story takes place in a lush part of Thailand. Days are long and hot and food is plentiful along a lazy riverbank, especially delicacies such as mango trees. A crafty crocodile sets his sights on a tasty monkey in the mango trees. Each time, the cheeky monkey finds a way to get around being eaten. In the end, the crocodile has to admit defeat. It is a classic tale of cunning and wit between two adversaries who become friends.
