" of course , i wo n't give you my liver , but come and get it if you can ! " added the monkey mockingly from the tree . there was nothing for the jelly fish to do now but to repent of his stupidity , and to return to the dragon king of the sea and to confess his failure , so he started sadly and slowly to swim back . the last thing he heard as he glided away , leaving the island behind him , was the monkey laughing at him . meanwhile the dragon king , the doctor , the chief steward , and all the servants were waiting impatiently for the return of the jelly fish . when they caught sight of him approaching the palace , they hailed him with delight . they began to thank him profusely for all the trouble he had taken in going to monkey island , and then they asked him where the monkey was .
how did the monkey treat the jelly fish once he escaped ?
mockingly .
mockingly .
