## Synopsis
A Panchatantra story with a moral, retold: on an Indian seashore, a lonely monkey named Red-Face shares the fruit of his rose-apple tree with a crocodile called Ugly-Mug, and an unlikely friendship grows. But the crocodile's jealous wife wants something sweeter than fruit, and halfway across the deep bay the monkey learns what his friend is carrying him toward. With no way to swim and nowhere to run, he has only his wits. An AI-assisted retelling of the fable "The Monkey and the Crocodile" from India.
