There was one cap vendor. As he wanted
to go to another town, he was passing
through a jungle. He got tired and
decided to take rest under a tree. While
he was sleeping under the tree some
monkeys came and took away his caps
and climbed a tree. The vendor awoke.
He came to know about the situation.

He was much puzzled but he suddenly got
an idea. He removed his cap from his head
and threw it on the ground. All monkeys
saw this and they did the same thing. The
vendor collected his caps and went away.
The moral of this story:
Common sense helps a person solve his
problems.

After a few years the son of the vendor was going to the
other town to sell his caps. He was tired and took the rest
under the same tree. Same thing happened. Monkeys
came and collected caps. The son awoke and he came to
know about the situation. He remembered his father’s act
and he did the same thing. He threw his cap on the
ground. Not a single monkey acted and they were
laughing. The son got puzzled. He said’ “please throw the
caps. My father thought me that you would do what you
would see”. One monkey replied, “our father told us the
story and advised us not to throw then caps. We have
become wiser now”.

The moral of the story:
One has to change according to the
situation and has to accept the change.
The son did not learn from the past and
so he was the loser. While monkeys
change themselves so they were the
gainers.
