Once upon a time there was a King.
He was rich, kind and prosperous.
When the king was blessed with a
son, he held a grand feast. The priests who came during the celebration asked
the king to build a temple in his state to thank God for blessing him with son.
Soon the temple construction
started. The masons, sculptors, carpenters, painters who worked there gathered
everyday in the noon to take their meal.
One day while the workmen were
taking their meal, a troop of monkeys came and started playing with their
tools. One of the workmen left after placing a wedge in a large log he was
working on.
One of monkeys from the troop
jumped on that log of wood. He saw the log was with inserted wedge and became
curious about it. So he tried hard and pulled it. As the wedge came out, the
heavy log banged and the monkey's tail was caught in the log.
The helpless monkey shrieked and
cried loudly in pain. His family
gathered to help him. Hearing the cry, the workmen came to rescue him. They tugged
and pulled over, and set monkey free. But his tailed waggled between the logs.
The monkey lost his tail and died in pain.
Moral: Do not interfere in other
people's work.
