Once
upon a time, there was a king who kept a monkey as a pet. The monkey
served the king in whatever way he could. He had a free run of the
royal household because he was the king’s pet. One hot day the monkey
sat fanning by the side of the king who was sleeping. He noticed a fly
on the chest of the king and tried to swish it away. The fly would go
away for the moment and come back again to sit on the king's chest.
The
monkey could take it no longer and decided to teach the fly a lesson.
He took a dagger and brought it down with all force on the fly to kill
it. The fly flew away but the king died as result of the dagger blow
delivered by the monkey.
Moral :
A
king who cares for his life should not have a fool as his
servant.
