A MONKEY STORY
There was once a hat-seller who passed by a forest on his way back. The weather was very hot and he decided to take a nap under one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side.
A few hours later, he was awoken by some sounds. He realised that all his hats were gone. He heard some monkeys above him on the top of the tree.
They had taken all of his hats!
The hat-seller sat down and tried to think of how he could get his hats down. He started to think and scratched his head. The next moment, he realise that the monkeys were doing the same action. Next, he took his own hat and fanned himself. The monkeys did exactly the same thing!
An idea struck him. He took his hat and threw it onto the floor. The monkeys did the same too. In this way, the hat-seller managed to get all his hats back.
Fifty years later, his grandson also became a hat-seller and heard about this monkey story from his grandfather.
One day, just like his grandfather, he passed by the same forest. Feeling very hot, he took a nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor. When he woke up, he realised that his hats were all gone, just like what happened fifty years ago.
He looked up and discovered that the monkeys had taken all his hats. Remembering what his grandfather had told him, he started scratching his head. The monkeys followed. He took down his hat and fanned himself. Again, the monkeys followed.
Now, very convinced of his grandfather's idea, he threw his hat on the floor . . . but to his surprise, the monkeys still held on to held on to all the hats!
Then one monkey climbed down the tree, grabbed the hat on the floor, gave him a slap and said, "You think only you have grandfather meh . . ."
