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?’
