Q.7. What is your opinion about the crocodile’s decision to kill the monkey? Support your answer logically.

In my opinion, the crocodile took the wrong decision when he decided to be on the side of his wife. He must not have done so. He decided to kill the monkey just because she was his life-partner and wanted to eat his heart while monkey was his true friend, but he was ready to commit a crime to kill his friend for his wife.
The crocodile must have discussed the issue with his wife and made her realise the importance of friendship in one’s life before taking any extreme step. He must have not taken such step, even if she was not ready at any cost. The crocodile lost his friend forever after the incident. Thus, the monkey was quite right to break the friendship.

Q.8. Describe in your own words the fight between the crocodile and his wife.

The crocodile’s wife was angry when he had overstayed with the monkey and she had to look after the baby crocodiles alone. She asked him who this friend was. The crocodile told her about the monkey and said that he was very nice as he used to send fruits for her. She then demanded to eat his heart. The crocodile shouted at her and refused to deceive his friend. She asked the crocodile to bring the monkey to her but he refused. She got angry and dived deep into the river.
