One day long ago, some sailors set
out to sea in their sailing ship.
One of them brought his pet monkey
along for the long journey.
When they were far out at sea, a
terrible storm overturned their ship.
Everyone fell into the sea, and the
monkey was sure that he would drown.

Suddenly a dolphin appeared and picked him up.
They soon reached the island and the monkey
came down from the dolphin’s back. The dolphin
asked the monkey, “Do you know this place?”
The monkey replied,

“Yes, I do. In fact, the king of the island
is my best friend. Do you know that
I am actually a prince?” Knowing that
no one lived on the island, the dolphin
said, “Well, well, so you are a prince!
Now you can be a king!” The monkey
asked, “How can I be a king?” As
the dolphin started swimming away, he
answered, “That is easy. As you are
the only creature on this island,
you will naturally be the king!”
