The Monkey and the Crocodile
One day, there was a monkey. He wanted to cross a river. There he saw a crocodile so he asked the
crocodile to take him across the other side of the river. The crocodile agreed and told the monkey to
jump on its back. Then the crocodile swam down the river with the monkey on his top.

monkey, “My father is very sick. He has to eat the heart of the monkey. So he will be health again.”
At the time, the monkey was in dangerous situation and he had to think hard. Then he had a good
idea. He told the crocodile to swim back to the river bank. “What’s for?” asked the crocodile.

river bank.”
The crocodile agreed and turned around. He swam back to the bank of the river. As soon as they
reached the river bank, the monkey jumped off the crocodile’s back. Then he climbed up to the top

The Legend of the Lalihote

Gorontalo. One night, Lahilote who lived near a water spring which was the upper stream of a river
and made a living by collecting rattan in a nearby forest dream that was given a piece of such big
rattan called “Hutiya Mala”. The young man sprang up from his sleep upon the surprising dream.
A few days later on his way to the forest, Laholote chanced to glance down the river and see a
group of seven beautiful fairies who were bathing joyfully. The seven beauties left their
“selendangs”, the magic scarves they used as the wings, on the river-bank. Greed soon lured
Lahilote to steal and hide one of the selendangs. As they were aware of the presence of Laholote,
the fairies soon stopped bathing and go out of water and fetched their selendangs. They all flew to
the heaven leaving the poor one who cried and sobbed desperately because she could not find her
selendangs. Lahitole approached and comforted her, then brought her some proposed her to be his
wife. The beautiful accepted his proposal and soon they married.
One day, lahitole told his wife that he had go to the forest to collect rattan. His wife insisted to
accompany him but he did not let her go with him. To keep herself if busy Lahitole’s wife
wondered over the house amd by chance she found her lost selendang kept very carefully in a
bamboo tube. She felt very happy but at the same time very disappointed to know her husband’s
unfairness. She soon wear the selendang and flew away to the heaven leave her husband behind.
Lahilote got home happily because at that time he succeeded in collecting a great deal of rattan. But
soon he got very much disappointed to know that his wife had flown away and the bamboo tube
where he had kept the selendang was empty. At that very difficult moment, suddenly came a wise
Polahi (a certain tribe living in the forest) man who gave him a piece of magic rattan. He told
Lahitole that the rattan could bring him to the heaven. Eventually, Lahilote succeeded to fly to the
heaven and meet his beloved wife. Lahitole was allowed to stay in the heaven.
After some time, when his wife was looking for lice Lahilote’s head, she happened to see some
garying hairs among his. Soon she sprang up and got away from her startled husband. She told him
that no one with graying hair is allowed to stay in heaven. Upon his questions, she told her husband:
“Love fades away when you get a graying because here in heaven you are no more than a shadow
as soon as you get a piece of graying hair.”
Broken-heartedly, Lahilote got down from the heaven making use of a piece of board. He swore:
“From this point of Pohe beach up to the border of the shroud to cover my dead body, my left foot-
print will be printed forever.”
At the moment we can find a stone in the beach of Pohe, in the Province of Gorontalo with a foot-
print stamped on it. The locals believe that is the foot-print of Lahilote.
