Once a monkey went out for a walk.

During the walk the monkey saw a bluff and came up to the edge.

The monkey looked down and saw a strawberry.

But the bluff was too high and the arms were too short to get the berry.

The monkey wanted the berry very much, because the monkey was very much of a berry admirer.

A boa constrictor hanging on a tree at the bluff saw monkey's problem to get the berry and offered to help.

The monkey was so engrossed in thinking how it could get the berry that it did not understand why the yellow liana hanging on a tree at the bluff was disturbing it to think.

But then the monkey looked closely and realised that the liana was a boa.

But on thinking a little bit the monkey decided that it was still a yellow liana, but not a boa.

“I should drink less”, the monkey thought and took hold of the liana to hang on it out of habit.

But the liana hissed and the monkey thought that there was something going wrong.

But on listening attentively the monkey decided it was a mishearing and the liana was still quiet.

At that the monkey heard, “What kind of mushrooms have you eaten?
I am not a liana. I am a boa.”

“Holy boa! Sorry, sorry, my mad bad”, said the monkey and continued: “Actually I'm not much of a mushrooms admirer but of strawberries one of wich (I prefer srawberries one of which) but I am much of a strawberries admirer/which is not the case of the strawberry that … you can see right down below”.

Actually I'm not much of a mushrooms admirer, ether. Nor am I of strawberries. But I am much of a riddles told by fluffy monkeys admirer. If I get you the strawberry, will you tell me a riddle?

It's a deal. Let's shake hands…, sorry, tails.

The boa said, “Then take me by the tail and put me down to the bottom of the bluff.”

The monkey followed the instructions and right after the boa gently grasped the berrry stalk with its teeth the monkey lifted it up.

The monkey lifted the boa up in the following way: the monkey did not pull the boa hand below fist, instead the monkey pulled the boa with all its might by the end of the tail.

“What the f..hell are you doing!”, the boa cried out and added “Only my kindness does not let me strangle you on the spot”

Nevertheless, the berry was in the boa's mouth, so all the boa's words were idle.

Except the last step (?): the berry was yet to be fallen into the monkey's mouth.

Taking advantage of the kindness of the boa, the monkey took the berry into its mouth and …

So the monkey and the boa became friends.

And following the agreement, the monkey come up with the next riddle:

I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone,
But lack a good leg.
I peel layers like onions,
But still remain whole;
I can be long like a flagpole,
Yet fit in a hole.
What am I?
