Synopsis

The sea queen Otohime was very ill. The best doctors from every country under the sea tried to treat the queen, but their treatment was in vain. Everyone had almost given up hope, when one day the doctor, who was cleverer than the rest ones, has arrived and said that the only thing that would cure her was the liver of an ape. Apes don't live underwater and a council of the wisest heads in the nation was called to consider the question how an ape's liver could be obtained. They decided that the turtle should swim to the land and try to catch and bring a living ape safely to the ocean kingdom. The turtle swam to a part of the coast that was covered with tall trees... Will turtle catch any ape?
