Once, a man went for a walk in the forest. Suddenly a cute little monkey came upon him and he tried to make friends with him. He called the monkey to come over and said he had something important to tell him. The monkey suspected at first, but then he agreed and approached the man. "You know we're relatives?" The man asked the monkey. "There are studies that prove that man's origin is from the monkey, there's one, Darwin ..." and he told the monkey some details about the evolutionary theories of humanity. As they spoke among themselves, suddenly a lion growled approached them. The monkey immediately grabbed the man's hand and led him to a nearby tree and helped him climb up and up. They did not stop or look back until they were sure they were tall enough and far from the lion. The lion was hungry and nervous, and did not intend to give up the prey. "I'll be content with just one of you," the lion called to them. "If one of you agrees to be my food, the life of the other will be saved!" But the monkey and the man decided that they were friends and no one would sacrifice the other. They held hands and continued to sit on the branches of the tree. Adam was a bit uncomfortable and his body ached, but the monkey felt right at home. The lion sat under the tree and waited for them to come down. He was not going to give up the safe prey. From time to time he reminded them of his offer to spare one if the other was to be eaten. After a few hours of sitting on the tree, the man and the monkey got tired and wanted to take a nap. But the man was afraid that he would slip and fall out of the tree as he slept. "How about we sleep by turns?" He said to the monkey. "When I sleep, you will protect me from falling and then I will protect you." The monkey agreed and they put the fate of those who slept first. The man slept first and the monkey guarded him. A few hours later the roles changed and the monkey slept and the man guarded him. While guarding the monkey, the man had all sorts of ideas for his head. His whole body ached and he wanted to go home. All kinds of malicious thoughts began to creep into his head: "If I drop the old monkey down, the lion will eat it, and as he promised, he will make do with it and let me go free! He decided to carry out his plan and pushed the old monkey down. But the monkey, accustomed to living on the trees quickly and flexibly, awoke instantly, clung to the undergrowth and stood on it. He did not say a word to anyone, just climbed back upstairs and continued to sleep on the same branch from which he was pushed. The man was rather ashamed and ashamed of what he had done and was really sorry. In the morning the monkey awoke and saw that the lion downstairs was asleep. He helped the man down quietly from the tree and led him quickly through the forest. Before they parted, the ape said to the man: "Do me a favor please do not keep circulating and spreading the rumor that we're relatives, okay, it's insulting, it's not possible that the person is from the monkey, or we have common fathers. What you did ....
