Moral Story – The cap seller




                One hot summer day, a cap-seller was going to a fair to sell his caps. His way laid through a forest. He felt tired. He laid down in a cool place under a shady tree. Soon he fell fast asleep.

                There lived some monkeys on that tree. They came down and took all the caps with them. When the cap-seller woke up, he found all his caps gone. He looked up and saw the monkeys wearing caps on their heads. He tried many tricks to recover his caps, but in vain. 

                He did not lose his presence of mind. He took off his own cap and threw it on the ground.  The monkeys also did the same. He collected all the caps and went on his way.

Moral – Never lose your presence of mind.
