The Monkey King's Sacrifice
These monkeys are in the forest and they start to sense danger. One monkey suspects the humans will find the mango fruit soon and want to find the monkeys forest that hold this fruit. So the monkeys go to great lengths to hide the fruits and keep them from falling in the river. Despite their efforts one mango happens to fall in the river and floats downstream where it ends up in a fisherman's net. He is intrigued by this new fruit and thinks he should take it to the king. So him and his best bud head towards the kings palace to show him this new fruit. Once they find the king they tell him what happened and the king takes the fruit to his nature guy. The nature guy says thats obviously a mango and the king tries it. The king loved this mango and asked where he could get more of these. The nature guy tells him they are upstream a little ways so the king decides to take a military force and they make there way up there. Once there they get in a battle with the monkey so they can take their mangos. As the humans are shooting arrows at the monkeys the king monkey finds a way out and swings across trees on a vine but can't quite make it. The king monkey decides to hold the vine while all the other monkeys climb across. When the last monkey comes across he decides to take out his prior frustrations on the king monkey and knocks him to the ground as he jumps to safety. The king monkey falls and the human king sees this and comes over to praise him for his bravery and leadership. The king offers to take the monkey king back with him so he can be cared for to which the monkey king said he was just doing his duty and to leave him to die.
