The Hawker & The Monkey
Once a tired hawker sleeping under a tree. His bag full of caps was lying beside him.Monkeys living on the tree quietly came down, took his caps and climbed back up on the tree.When the hawker woke up, he saw the monkeys wearing his caps.
He begged the monkeys to return his caps but the monkeys did not return them.
The hawker knew that the monkeys have a habit of copying others. So he threw his own cap on the ground. Monkeys followed him and threw their caps down.
Hawker quickly collected the caps and went on his way happily.
