Under the Great Plum Tree

Under the Great Plum Tree tells the story of the friendship of the monkey with the big golden heart, Miss Bandari, and an old crocodile, Mr. Magarmach. Miss Bandari shares the plums from her tree with the crocodile as he is old and can't catch food as he once did, and Mr. Magarmach tells stories to Miss Bandari about his adventures as a young crocodile. One day the crocodile suggests the monkey come eat lunch with him at his home, but the elephant realizes that King Crocodile has tricked the old crocodile and tried to lead the old crocodile into bringing the monkey with him for a meal.

A new folktale based on old stories. Well told, with beautiful illustrations.
