Este cuento se llama “El mono y el cangrejo”, una adaptación de la fábula japonesa llamada “La batalla del mono y el cangrejo”, escrito por Ryan Aoto y leído por Daniel Fernando. Esta es una grabación y traducción de LibraryCall. Un día, un mono caminó hacia la orilla de un río. Ahí vio a un cangrejo sosteniendo un omusubi, una golosina muy deliciosa que es una bola de arroz envuelta en alga. Su primer pensamiento fue correr hacia el cangrejo y robarse el omusubi, ya que tenía hambre y era muy codicioso. El cangrejo era mucho más pequeño que el mono, así que debería de ser fácil.
