In a dense forest, a group of monkeys lived together and they loved to cause trouble. One day, while they were playing and jumping around, they stumbled upon a wooden log with a wedge stuck in it. The wedge had been placed there by a woodcutter who was taking a break from his work.
The monkeys were curious about the strange object and started examining it. The chief monkey was eager to try something new and decided to pull out the wedge. He asked for help from the others, but it wouldn't budge. The chief monkey then had an idea and said, "Let's all work together and pull the wedge out. We are stronger as a team!"
The monkeys agreed and gathered around the wedge. The chief monkey inserted his tail into the crack and instructed the others to pull the wedge out at the same time. With great enthusiasm, the monkeys started pulling with all their might. Suddenly, the wedge came loose, causing the log to snap shut and trapping the chief monkey's tail inside.
The chief monkey screamed in pain, and the other monkeys didn't know how to help him. They panicked and ran away, leaving the chief monkey trapped and helpless.
And so, the chief monkey paid the price for his foolish curiosity, while the rest of the monkeys learned that it's not good to meddle with things they didn't understand.
In a forest so thick and wild that not even a treasure map could help you find your way, lived a group of monkeys who were professional troublemakers. These weren't just any monkeys; they were the jokers of the jungle, always up for some giggles and pranks.
So, one bright and sunny day, while they were taking a break from a game of "Tag," they found a big wooden log with a wooden piece stuck in it, like a puzzle piece in the wrong spot.
"What's this?" said the Chief Monkey, looking at it as if he had found a hidden treasure. "Looks like someone's art project that didn't make the cut!"
"Nah, doesn't look like a toy to me," said another monkey, scratching his head like he was trying to solve a big mystery.
The Chief Monkey clapped his hands together. "I've got a brilliant idea! How about we pull this wooden piece out? Imagine the fun, the flying wood chips, the smell of fresh wood! It'll be awesome!"
The other monkeys looked at each other and shrugged, as if to say, "Why not?" "All right, let's do it! Teamwork makes the dream work!"
Brave as a superhero, the Chief Monkey stuck his tail into the crack in the log. "Ok, everyone, let's pull on the count of three. One... Two... What's the next number?"
"THREE!" they all shouted, pulling as hard as they could.
And then—POP! The wooden piece flew out like a rocket! But oh no, the log snapped shut quicker than you can say "Oops!" trapping the Chief Monkey's tail.
"YOWZA!" screamed the Chief Monkey, his tail stuck like gum on a shoe.
The other monkeys panicked, running around like chickens with their heads cut off. "Save yourselves!"
And there was the Chief Monkey, his tail stuck, thinking about what went wrong. Maybe next time they'd be a little more careful with things they don't understand.
Monkeys in the forest, lively and free,
Loved causing trouble, as naughty as can be.
Jumping here and there, what did they find?
A wooden log with a secret of some kind.
A wedge was stuck, right deep in the wood,
A woodcutter's pause, work left where it stood.
Chief Monkey thought, "What's this? Let's see!"
Eager to know what this mystery could be.
"Come help me pull," he shouted with glee,
But try as they might, the wedge wouldn’t flee.
Then Chief had an idea, bright as the sun,
"Let's pull all together; it’s more easily done!"
So all gathered around, tails ready for the chore,
Chief Monkey spoke, "On three—let’s pull more!"
One, two, and three, they pulled with might,
And out popped the wedge, oh what a sight!
But wait! Oh no, the log snapped—Kapow!
Chief Monkey's tail was trapped somehow.
He screamed in pain; the troop was at a loss,
In their monkey panic, they fled across.
So there in the log, Chief Monkey did dwell,
A lesson of meddling he’d soon know well.
His troop learned too, a wisdom to withstand:
Don’t mess with things you don’t fully understand.
A thirsty crow cleverly drops pebbles into a pitcher, raising the water level to drink and quench its thirst.
A slow and steady tortoise wins a race against a boastful and overconfident hare.
An ant works hard and saves food for the winter while the grasshopper plays and starves.
A North Wind and a Sun compete to remove a traveler’s cloak, but the Sun wins with warmth.
A lion spared a mouse's life, later, the mouse rescued the lion from a trap.
A king's elephant and a dog form a friendship, are suddenly separated, but they are reunited by the king and live happily.
A farmer teaches his quarreling sons the strength of unity using a bundle of sticks.
