In this story, Kardana the wise monkey king has been removed from power, and gone quietly into exile. He makes a new life living on a river island, where he passes the time throwing figs from the tree into the water below. A river tortoise comes to eat the fallen figs. The monkey and tortoise begin talking, and over time the two become friends, meeting every day.
