The tell of The Crocodile in the River tells about a buddha's that was betrayed by his monk, but he uses animals as the characters to replay the events that happened.
Buddha-as-monkey and the crocodile is a tale where is tells of betrayal. this story represents a monk that plotted against his master "Buddha" to get something in life he wanted. So, using a monkey and crocodile is a great example, because the crocodile has a partner that he wants to please and make happy. So, when she sees the monkey in the tree she tells her partner she wants the monkey to eat, so being the man of the house "river", he goes and tries to plot on the monkey by making an amends. Each day the crocodile comes to the rock, interacting with the monkey, and in the monkeys, mind he thinks they have a nice bond, but in reality his last days of life are slowing approaching. But, as time passes the monkey starts to notice something very strange about this one rock by his house "tree". As, he sits there one day and measures the rock, he starts to shout out asking the rock questions, but no response comes, so he yells loud and the crocodiles gestures responding back. The monkey knew from the start of the odd position of the rock that something was fishy he just did not want to assume things, but to wrap it all up he outsmarted the crocodile that only cared about impressing his partner and not about how he would take a life away to pleasure a women he "think he cares about".
Moral of the story is just because you have a "bond" with a person does not me their loyalty is true. People do crazy things for the people "they are in love with" at that moment, but they never think about the consequences or repercussions that come along with it. And most of the time people and seek out a fishy person, and by analyzing their moves they can outwit a person with bad intentions.
