The Monkey is on a dessert island made of cake and raspberries, while the fox is on a desert island with pretty much nothing. Which one is better off? You might be surprised. 

I love the parallel stories of the two animals and the discovery they make together. While the story itself is very short - the discussion and debate over dessert or desert will last much longer.
