When they reached the middle of the wide river, Snappy told Momo the scary truth about his wife's plan. Momo was very frightened, but he stayed calm and thought of a clever trick. He told Snappy that he had left his heart back on the mango tree.
Snappy believed the monkey and quickly turned around to swim back to the shore. As soon as they reached the land, Momo gave a giant leap and climbed to the very top of his tall mango tree. He was safe at last!
