One morning he saw many birds fluttering around his masts, so that he knew the land was near.
Two hours after this the boat floated near to a great Mountain. On this Mountain many beasts had their homes. When the man realized this he was very much afraid, and he said to himself, "If I stay in this spot, in this boat I will starve soon; and if I go out and up the Mountain I will be killed by the wild beasts."
In the very midst of the young man's trouble and wonder who should come down the Mountain but a female Monkey. This Monkey was the Queen of the place; she led him to her cave and prepared a dinner for him, and sat with him at meat.
After a few days the female Monkey made a stately bow before him and asked him to become her husband.
Then the man said to himself, "If do not consent to her she will kill me, so I shall have to marry her to save my life, and perhaps after a time I shall have a good chance to go back to my home again."
So he promised to marry her.
On their wedding day there were many little Monkeys who came to congratulate her.
After a year the Monkey bore a baby to him.
When the boy was old enough his Mother took him out to hunt for game, which they carried home for dinner.
The man taught her to cook, so that they could roast the game quite nicely.
