A MONKEY AND A FARMER
One day a monkey was feeling very hungry.While searching for food, he reached a pumpkin field in a village. The monkey was very happy and ate one pumpkin from the field.
Suddenly the owner of the pumpkin field entered the field and caught the monkey. The monkey said,
"Farmer, please forgive me, I was feeling very hungry and I ate one pumpkin from your field".
But the farmer did not listen to the monkey's words and in anger he lit a fire to it's tail.
The monkey was in pain and he ran around and jumped into the wheat field,which also belonged to the same farmer. The wheat field which was ready for harvesting caught fire easily. The whole wheat field burnt down due to the fire and turned into ashes. Meanwhile the monkey ran fast to the nearest pond and dipped its tail in the water and got relieved from the fire.
After watching all these, the farmer realized that because of his short temper and rudeness, he lost his precious wheat field.
