The Story:
One hot day, while travelling through a forest, the cap seller decided to rest under a tree and took a nap, leaving his basket of colorful caps on the ground.There were many monkeys on that tree who were very naughty. They came down, took all his caps from the basket, and climbed back to the tree.
When the cap seller woke up, he was shocked to see his basket empty. He searched for his caps everywhere. To his surprise, he saw the monkeys up on the tree wearing them. He tried various ways to get his caps back. He folded his hands and requested them to return the caps. The monkeys, in turn simply mocked his actions by folding their own hands.
He then got trusted and raised his hands in anger, shouting at them to return the caps. The monkeys too raised their hands and started shouting.
The Clever Solution:
Realizing that the monkeys loved to imitate, the cap seller took off his own cap and threw it on the ground. The monkeys did the same, allowing the cap seller to quickly collect his caps and return home happily.
Moral of the Story:
In the story’ Monkey and the Cap Seller’, the cap seller used his wisdom and smartness to get back all the caps from the monkeys. This story also teaches us that we should not give up or panic in unfavourable circumstances and instead use our brains to tackle challenges sensibly.
