The story of the
Monkey
Construction of a temple was on outside a town. Near the
site, a huge wooden log was being split. At the lunch, the workers fixed a
wedge between the split wood and went to dine. A monkey had been watching
the activities of the workers since morning. When the workers were away, the
monkey descended from the tree and began to meddle with that log of wood.
During the play, he saw the wedge and began to withdraw it. But he forgot
that his tail was hanging between the split ends of the log. As soon as the
wedge was out, the split ends closed squeezing the tail of the monkey. The
monkey tried hard to get himself free but in vain. No help was available
nearby. By the time, the workers returned from their lunch, the monkey had
died.
Moral:
Do
not meddle in things that don't concern you |
