Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle. He was very
tired and needed to rest. Then, he stopped and spread a cloth under a tree. He
placed his bag full of caps near him and lay down with his cap on his head.
The cap seller had a sound sleep for one hour. When he got
up, the first thing he did was to look into his bag. He was startled when he
found all his caps were not there.
When he looked up the sky, he was very surprised to see
monkeys sitting on the branches of a tree, each of the monkeys is wearing a cap
of on its head. They had evidently done it to imitate him
He decided to get his caps back by making a humble request
to the monkeys. In return, the monkeys only made faces of him. When he begun to
make gesture, the monkeys also imitated him.
At last he found a clever idea. " Monkeys are a great
imitator," he thought. So he took off his own cap and threw it down on the
ground. And as he had expected, all the monkeys took off the caps and threw the
caps down on the ground. Quickly, he stood up and collected the caps, put them
back into his bag and went away.
