14 Comay Jicotea looked very ashamed. “You’re right,” she said. “I
deserve to be punished. But it won’t help to throw me into the
fire. My shell won’t burn and I’ll never learn a lesson from that.

You should throw me into the river. I’m terrified of the cold water,
but I know it’s just what I deserve.”

15 As everyone knows, monkeys are afraid of water, and so what
that crafty Jicotea said made sense to Compay Mono. He picked
up the turtle and ran to the river with her. He threw her as far out
into the water as he could, and, of course, the tricky little Comay

Jicotea swam away laughing to herself.

16 To this day, Comay Jicotea sometimes comes out to sun herself
on the bank of the river, but she spends most of her time in the
water. She knows Compay Mono still wants to catch her and

punish her, but she knows that if she just jumps into the river, the
monkey will never dive in after her.

crafty Someone who is crafty uses clever or tricky ways
to get what he or she wants.
