THE CAPSELLER’S WISDOM

 

 

There was a cap seller who sold beautiful caps. He carried boxful of caps and moved from town to town selling caps.

Once, after selling some caps in a village, the cap seller was crossing a patch of groove. He felt too tired to proceed. So, he kept his cap box down and lied down under a shady tree.

In this groove lived some monkeys. They found the cap box and saw the seller wearing a cap. Down they came and picked a cap each. They started playing with the caps.

After some time, the cap seller heard the clattering noise and woke up to see the empty box. He looked up and saw the caps on the monkeys.

He tried many tricks to get back the caps, but in vain. At last in utter disgust he threw down his cap. What a surprise! The next moment all the caps were flying down.

The cap seller picked up the caps and walked away happily.
