The Capseller and the monkeys



Once they lived a cap seller in a small village named Rampur. He lived along with his wife and five year old kid. He sells caps to make his livelihood. He daily visits nearby towns and villages to sell caps. He sells all variety of caps which can be used in summer and in rainy season. Everyone is interested to buy caps near him because the quality and designs of the caps are different when compared with other cap sellers. It is the only income for him. Until he sells the caps he can’t feed his family. One day he starts from his home to other biggest town where every Monday there will be market going on. To reach that town he has to cross the jungle. Since, he walked for many miles he felt tied and taught of taking rest for a while under the tree. He sat under the tree by keeping hamper full of caps beside him and took a small nap. And the tree under which he sat was full of monkeys playing with the tree branches. When the cap seller fell into deep sleep the monkeys climbed down and took the caps from the hamper of the cap seller. Each monkey took one cap and again climbed the tree. When the capseller woke up he saw that his hamper was empty. He looked in and around his vicinity but he could not find anything. When he looked at the tree he saw that monkeys wearing the caps.  Then he worried that how can he get back his caps from monkeys.  He gestured in different ways to the monkeys. Whatever is being done by the capseller is imitated by the monkeys. Then he thought of a plan and as a part of the plan he took his cap and kept it on the ground seeing this monkey also removed their caps and threw on the ground. The capseller picked all the caps that was thrown by the monkey’s on to the ground and went towards his village happily

Think wisely before you act
