Long ago, there was a sailor who had a pet monkey. One day, he and other sailors set out on a sea journey. The sailor took his pet monkey with him for company. When the ship was far out at sea, a terrible storm struck and the ship overturned. Everyone on board fell into the sea. The monkey thought that he would drown.
Just then, a dolphin appeared. The dolphin swam close to the monkey and gently lifted him on its back. The dolphin carried the monkey to a lonely island. When they reached the island, the monkey jumped down from the dolphin's back. The dolphin asked, "Do you know this place?"
The monkey replied, "Yes, I do. In fact, the king of this island is my best friend."
The dolphin knew that no one lived on that island, so it said, "Oh! You are a prince!"
The monkey asked, "How can I be the king?"
The dolphin answered, "It is simple. As you are the only living creature on this island, you will naturally be the king."
Then the dolphin swam away and left the monkey alone on the island.
