这个故事在菲律宾家喻户晓，他加禄语叫作《乌龟和猴子》。1889年7月，菲律宾民族英雄何塞·黎刹用英文把它整理出来，发表在伦敦的《特吕布纳东方记录》上。这篇作品常被看作菲律宾儿童文学的开端。

This story is known in nearly every home in the Philippines, where its Tagalog title means The Turtle and the Monkey. In July 1889, the Philippine national hero Jose Rizal wrote it down in English and published it in Trubner Oriental Record in London. This work is often regarded as the beginning of Philippine children literature.

黎刹（1861—1896）是医生、作家，还很会画画。他发表这个故事时，把它和日本民间故事《猴蟹大战》放在一起比较：两个故事里都有一只贪心的猴子、一棵结满果子的树，和一个不会爬树的小伙伴。

Rizal (1861 to 1896) was a doctor and a writer, and he was also good at drawing. When he published this story, he compared it with the Japanese folk tale The Battle of the Monkey and the Crab. Both stories have a greedy monkey, a tree full of fruit, and a small friend who cannot climb.
