1. THE STORY OF THE MONKEY AND THE LOG
A merchant had started building a temple beneath the trees on the
outskirts of a town.
Every day the carpenters and the workmen used to go into the town for
their midday meals.
Now, one particular day, a troop of wandering monkeys arrived on the
scene.
One of the carpenters who was in the middle of sawing a log, put a
wedge in it, to prevent the log from closing up, and then went off.
The monkeys started playing on the tops of the trees and the high
structures, without a care in the world.
One poor monkey, not destined to live long, sat down on the half split
log, put his legs in the gap, caught hold of the wedge with his hands
and started pulling it out.
And behold! The wedge came out all of a sudden and the log closed in.
The monkey's legs which were in the gap of the log got trapped.
He was instantly killed.
The wise indeed say: One, who interferes in other's work, surely comes
to grief.
