The Wise Cap Seller And The Naughty Monkeys (Panchtantra Story)

                              
  Once there was a cap seller who wandered from one place to the    other to sell caps. Calling, 
                               Caps for sale...
                               caps for sale...
                               red caps,
                               yellow caps
                               and green caps...
                              caps for sale..
 One day the cap seller was going on his way to sell caps. It was a hot summer day and the man was feeling tired, he stopped under a tree to take some rest.. He kept his basket of caps by his side and fell asleep.
 A group of naughty monkeys lived on the tree. They saw the colorful caps in the basket. They came down and wore the caps on their heads like the cap seller wore.They climbed up the tree  wearing those caps.
After a while the cap seller woke up and found that the basket was empty and all the caps were missing.  'The monkeys on the tree were wearing the caps.'
"Come on you naughty fellows, give my caps back.", the seller yelled at them. Monkeys only imitated and copied him.
''Oh ! They have the habit of imitating others.'', the cap seller thought. He got an idea to get his caps back.  
He threw his own cap down. Seeing it, the monkeys threw down their caps too. The cap seller hurriedly collected all the caps and moved on chanting,
                         Caps for sale...
                          caps for sale...
                          red caps,
                         yellow caps
                         and green caps...
                        caps for sale.
