Once upon a time there lived a cap seller in a small village. He used to go from his village to nearest village to sell the caps. His way lay through a big forest.
It was a hot summer day and it was very hot. The cap seller got tired by walking from his village. To get some rest he sat under a shaded tree and kept his cap basket near by him.
Soon he fell asleep under the shadow of the tree. Many monkeys were living on that tree. When they saw the caps they climbed down the tree and each one of them put a cap on their head from the basket. Then they climbed up the tree again. Soon the basket looks empty.
The cap seller woke up after some time. He found that his caps were missing from his basket. By chance he looked up and saw the monkeys wearing his caps. He tried his best to get his caps back but all his efforts were in vain.
Suddenly an idea struck in his mind. He took off his own cap and threw it on the ground. Monkeys did the same as they are loving to copy others. The cap seller collected all his caps and went away happily.
Moral: Intelligence works wonders.
