        The Monkeys and The Cap Seller

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.
