The Panchatantra moral stories are one of the most popular collections of animal-based fables. Originally written in Sanskrit'  each of these fables has an associated moral. These stories are light, colourful and appropriate, even for tiny tots, and provide valuable lessons that stay in their minds forever.
The legend about the origin of Panchatantra traces back into the times of King Amarashakti, who appointed a scholar named Vishnu Sharma to educate his three sons. Vishnu Sharma realised that conventional tools and techniques of teaching did not work well with these princes, and so' decided to teach them through stories, instead. He therefore, wrote a collection of stories under the following five volumes. and so it was named as Panchatantra (pancha five and tantra systems):
Once upon a time in a forest, there lived a monkey who resided on a jamoon (berry) tree which was on the banks of a river. In the same fores, there lived a crocodile and his wife. One day the crocodile came to the banks of the river and rested under the tree. The kindhearted monkey offered him some fruits. The crocodile came back the next day for more fruits as he loved them. As days passed by the crocodile and the monkey became good friends.
One day the monkey sent some fruits for the crocodile’s wife. She ate the fruits and liked them, but was jealous  as she didn’t like her husband spending time with the monkey. She told her husband If the fruits are so juicy I wonder how sweet the monkey’s heart would be. Get me the heart of the monkey. The crocodile was not willing to kill his friend, but had no choice.
He invited the monkey to his house for dinner and that his wife would like to meet him. The monkey was happy, but couldn't swim, so the crocodile took him on his back. The crocodile was happy that he had tricked the monkey, however, while talking, he blurted out the real reason for taking the monkey home. The clever monkey said  You should have told me earlier. I left my heart on the tree. We must go back and get it. The crocodile believed him and took him back to the tree. Thus, the clever monkey saved his life.
