I start this recording in the middle of the story, after Bro. Croc. has been told by Dr. Tiger that he must drink Monkey Liver Soup to save his own liver. Crock has tricked Monkey into getting on his back to swim across the river to find much sweet fruit..
MONKEY LIVER SOUP is a classic Caribbean folktale.. I have always thought it was sourced in Africa somewhere, but to my surprise I found the story in a book of World Folktales under "India".. so there..
that is one of the dilemmas of tracing folktales - they tend to be pandemic like the swine flu.
