Once there lived a King. He had a monkey. The monkey was very
dear to the King and enjoyed all privileges in the palace.
But the monkey was dim-witted and foolish. He often committed
mistakes which were ignored by the King.
One afternoon, when the king was resting after his meal, the
monkey sat besides him to fan him.
It was a dull and calm noon and the monkey soon grew sleepy
when suddenly a fly came buzzing over the King.
The monkey swayed away the fly. But it would fly away and
encircle back again around the King's chest. Seeing this the monkey grew
agitated. He took a sword to kill the fly.
When the fly came looping around the King, the monkey
targeted it with all his force. But the fly flew untouched by the sword and the
sword hit the King. The King cried in agony and died.
Moral: Never befriend with fools. They are as dangerous as
your enemies.
