This story is based on a Pan-Asian folktale in which a trickster animal (a monkey, a rabbit, or a mouse deer) persuades crocodiles or sharks to form a bridge over water, under the pretext of counting them"--T.p. verso.
By using her ability to count, a clever monkey outwits the hungry crocodiles that stand between her and a banana tree on another island across the sea.
