Once
a temple construction was going on in a merchant’s garden. Many masons
and carpenters were working for it. They took time off every day to go
to the town for their lunch. One day, when the workers left for lunch a
batch of monkeys landed at the temple site and began playing with
whatever caught their fancy. One of the monkeys saw a partly sawed log
of wood and a wedge fixed in it so that it does not close up.
Curious
to know what it is, the monkey began furiously tugging at the wedge. At
last the wedge came off, trapping the legs of the monkey into the rift
of the log. Very soon, not able to get his legs out of the closed wood,
the monkey died.
MORAL :
It is not wise to poke one’s nose into affairs that are
not of their concern.
