Story of The Cap Seller and The Monkeys
Once, a cap seller was passing
through a jungle. He was very tired and needed to rest. Then, he stopped and
spread a cloth under a tree. He placed his bag full of caps near him and lay
down with his cap on his head. The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour.
When he got up, the first thing he did was to look into his bag. He was
startled when he found all his caps were not there. When he looked up the sky,
he was very surprised to see monkeys sitting on the branches of a tree, each of
the monkeys is wearing a cap of on its head. They had evidently done it to
imitate him
He decided to get his caps back by
making a humble request to the monkeys. In return, the monkeys only made faces
of him. When he begun to make gesture, the monkeys also imitated him. At last
he found a clever idea. " Monkeys are a great imitator," he thought.
So he took off his own cap and threw it down on the ground. And as he had
expected, all the monkeys took off the caps and threw the caps down on the
ground. Quickly, he stood up and collected the caps, put them back into his bag
and went away.
