24. An Intelligent Cap Seller.

An Intelligent Cap Seller.

There was a big dense forest near a village. The forest was full of trees.  Numerous monkeys lived in that forest. It was called the forest of monkeys.

One day a man who sold caps from village to village was passing through that jungle. He was coming from a long distance. The day was very hot. The cap seller got tired. He was too tired to walk. Seeing the shadow of the tree he thought of a plan to take rest under the cool shadow of the tree. He put his basket full of caps beside his head. Then he starts to take a rest under a big tree. Within a few minutes, the cap seller got into a deep sleep. 

The monkeys saw the basket full of caps. They got down from the tree and took all the caps one after another and climbed up the tree again. In the tree, the whole monkeys started dancing wearing caps.

After about an hour, the cap seller woke up. When he opened his eyes then he was astonished to see the situation. He could not believe his own eyes. He could not think of what to do. He thought how can he get back his caps from the numerous monkeys that were far from his hand?

Later thinking sometime, he thought of a plan to rescue his caps from the monkeys. He knew that the monkeys liked to imitate. So, showing the monkeys he took his own cap and threw it to the ground. Seeing this the monkeys threw their caps into the ground one by one. Then the cap seller picked up the caps and went away from the place instantly.

Finally, the cap seller got his caps back with his ready wit. So, we should not get upset when we are in danger. Rather we should find out the solution to rescue from the danger.
