The Capseller And The Monkeys

Once a capseller was passing through a jungle on his way to the village market. He was tired because of the long journey. He sat down under a

shady tree to take rest and fell asleep. Some monkeys used to live on that tree. Finding the capseller asleep, they took away all the caps from his bag. When the capseller woke up, he found all

his caps missing from the bag. He looked up. He was surprised to find all the monkeys wearing his caps. In anger, the capseller threw stones at the monkeys. All the monkeys threw fruits back at him. When he saw that the monkeys were copying

him, the capseller thought of a plan. He threw his cap down. The monkeys, too, threw their caps down. The capseller happily collected all his caps and went away.
