Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a group of mischievous monkeys. These monkeys were known throughout the land for their love of mischief and pranks. They were always up to something, and the other animals in the forest never knew what to expect from them.
One day, the monkeys decided to play a prank on the elephants. They climbed up to the top of a tall tree and began throwing ripe bananas at the unsuspecting elephants below. The elephants, not used to being pelted with fruit, were confused and startled. They trumpeted in alarm and ran around in circles, trying to figure out what was happening.
The monkeys, meanwhile, were having the time of their lives. They laughed and chattered as they threw more and more bananas at the elephants. The elephants, however, were not amused. They decided to teach the monkeys a lesson and began to shake the tree with all their might.
The monkeys, realizing they had gone too far, quickly climbed down from the tree and ran away as fast as they could. They knew they had made a big mistake and felt guilty for causing so much trouble.
From that day on, the monkeys decided to stick to less destructive pranks, like stealing the ranger’s hat or putting honey in the bird feeder. They learned their lesson and lived happily ever after, never bothering the elephants again.
The moral of the story: monkeys will be monkeys, but sometimes even they need to learn when to stop monkey-ing around.

A Fox, one day, fell into a deep well and could find no means of escape. Meanwhile, a Goat, overcome with thirst, came to the same well, and seeing the Fox, enquired the reason for which the fox was in the well. Concealing his sad plight under a merry guise, the Fox indulged in a lavish praise of the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and told the goat that he deliberately jumped in the well to enjoy its benefits. He kept encouraging the goat to jump in the well. The Goat, mindful only of his thirst, thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the Fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. “If,” said he, “you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterwards.” The Goat readily assented and the Fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the Goat’s horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. When the Goat upbraided him for breaking his promise, he turned around and cried out, “You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape.”
