How the Monkey Escaped Being Eaten | Folk Tales

This story tells of a clever monkey who repeatedly outsmarts a man trying to catch and eat him during a time when humans first started eating meat. The monkey uses his wits to escape capture multiple times: first by leaping into a tree, then by tricking the man's son guarding his hiding hole, and finally, after being caught and put in a box to be cooked, by persuading the man's children to let him out to dance, replacing himself in the cooking pot with sticks and a coconut shell, and escaping through an open door. The tale highlights the monkey's ingenuity and resourcefulness in avoiding danger, culminating in the man abandoning his pursuit after discovering the trickery in his stew.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-kids-stories-6-10-years--6564597/support.
