风和太阳(The Wind And The Sun)

One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”

(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.)

“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”

(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.)

So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.

(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)

“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.

(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)

这是一篇简单幽默风趣的经典小故事

画蛇添足

几个人以一壶酒为赌注，规定谁先画出一条蛇，谁就能得到这壶酒。其中一个人最先画成，他伸手取过酒壶，正要把酒喝掉的时候，四处一看别人还没画完，他便左手持壶，右手继续画着说：“我还能再给这条蛇添上几条脚呢！”蛇脚还没画完，另一个人已经画好了蛇的人从他手里夺过酒壶，边喝边说：“蛇本来是就没有脚的，你怎么能给他添上脚呢？”

“呵。”一声笑。她没有说过吗？她见过的怪物可比这强多了。

新房相见，她意外的发现眼前这个被被外界传为怪物的男子，不但生得绝色，安静的让人揪心，最关键的他还是最利于她修炼的毒体，随时随地散发的气息都诱惑着自己将他“吃”掉。

“你会杀我吗？”

“我会对你很好。”

…

最后？最后他就成了出得了厅堂，入得了厨房，打得过流氓，斗得过情敌的完美夫君啦啦啦~

【女强，男也强！宠文，爽文】

1.Once a fox invited a stork to dinner. He put nothing on the table except some soup in a very shallow dish.

The fox could easily lap up the soup, but the stork could only wet the end of her long bill in it. When she left the meal, she was still very hungry. "I am sorry," said the fox, "the soup is not to your taste."

"Please do not apologize," said the stork. "I hope you will come to my house, and dine with me soon."

A few days later the fox visited the stork. He found that his food was put in a long bottle, and the mouth of the bottle was very narrow. He could not insert his big mouth into it, so he ate nothing.

"I will not apologize," said the stork. "One bad turn deserves another."

一次，狐狸请鹳来吃饭。他除了浅盘子中的一点汤以外，什么也没有准备。

狐狸可以轻而易举地喝到汤，但是鹳只够蘸湿他长长的嘴尖。吃完饭后，鹳仍旧很饥饿。"很抱歉！"狐狸说，"这汤不合你的口味"。

"别客气，"鹳说，"过几天请到我家来和我一起吃饭吧。"

几天后，狐狸应邀而至，他发现食物都装在一个长长的瓶子里，而瓶口很细，他无法将他的大嘴伸进去，什么也吃不到。

"我不想道歉，这是你应得的回报。"鹳说。

2.A woman was singing. One of the guests turned to a man

by his side and criticized the singer.

"What a terrible voice!"he said. "Do you know who she is?"

"yes." was the answer,"she is my wife."

"Oh,I beg your parden," the man said. "Of course her voice

isn't bad, but the song is very bad. I wondered who wrote that awful song?"

" I did," was the answer.

有一个妇女在唱歌。一个宾馆的客人对旁边的男人问道：“这是多么可怕的歌声啊，你知道她是谁？”

“是的”，男人回答到“他是我妻子”。

“OH，我的兄弟，其实她的声音并不难听，主要是这歌词写的不好，是谁写的这么可怕的歌词？”

“我写的”男人回答道.

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。

这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。

The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅

A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.

Change of habit cannot alter Nature.

乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。

这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。

The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人

A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."

Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.

很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里。有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西，单独落在后面。牧羊 人拿起一块石头扔了过去，正巧打断了山羊的一只角。牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人， 山羊说：“即使我不说，又怎能隐瞒下去呢？我的角已断了，这是十分明显的事实。”

这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。

The Miser守财奴

A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."

有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。他每天走去看 看他的宝藏。有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后， 说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。”

这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."

The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过 你。”

这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。

The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼

A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.

蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他，自己生来痛恨鸟类。蝙蝠说他是老鼠，不是鸟，便被放了。后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来，被另一只黄鼠狼叼住，他再三请求不要吃他。这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类，并非老 鼠，又被放了。这样，蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字，终于死里逃生。

这故事说明，我们遇事要随机应变方能避免危险。

The Ass and the Grasshopper 驴子与蚱蜢

AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.

驴子听见蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙动听的歌声所打动，自己也想能发出同样悦耳动听的声音，便 羡慕地问他们吃些什么，才能发出如此美妙的声音来。蚱蜢答道：“吃露水。”驴子便也只吃露水，没多久就饿死了。

这个故事告诉人们不要企望非份之物。

The Lion and the Mouse 狮子与报恩的老鼠

A LION was awakened from sleep by a Mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, he caught him and was about to kill him, when the Mouse piteously entreated, saying: "If you would only spare my life, I would be sure to repay your kindness." The Lion laughed and let him go. It happened shortly after this that the Lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him by strong ropes to the ground. The Mouse, recognizing his roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him free, exclaiming:

"You ridiculed the idea of my ever being able to help you, expecting to receive from me any repayment of your favor; now you know that it is possible for even a Mouse to con benefits on a Lion."

狮子睡着了，有只老鼠跳到了他身上。狮子猛然站起来，把他抓住，准备吃掉。老鼠请求饶命，并说如果保住性命，必将报恩，狮子轻蔑地笑了笑，便把他放走了。不久，狮子真的被老鼠救了性命。原来狮子被一个猎人抓获，并用绳索把他捆在一棵树上。老鼠听到了他 的哀嚎，走过去咬断绳索，放走了狮子，并说：

“你当时嘲笑我，不相信能得到我的报答， 现在可清楚了，老鼠也能报恩。” 这故事说明，时运交替变更，强者也会有需要弱者的时候。

英语短篇故事(伊索寓言)

1.The Fox and the Monkey

A Monkey once danced in an assembly of the Beasts, and so pleased them all by his performance that they elected him their King. A Fox, envying him the honor, discovered a piece of meat lying in a trap, and leading the Monkey to the place where it was, said that she had found a store, but had not used it, she had kept it for him as treasure trove of his kingdom, and counseled him to lay hold of it. The Monkey approached carelessly and was caught in the trap; and on his accusing the Fox of purposely leading him into the snare, she replied, "Oh Monkey, and are you, with such a mind as yours, going to be King over the Beasts?"

2.The Fence

By: Author Unknown

There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.

Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say 'I'm sorry', the wound is still there."

别太自私

一位母亲在劝告她的儿子。

"听着，约翰，别太自私，让你的弟弟和你共用一辆自行车。"

"妈妈，我是让他。我先骑下坡，他再骑上坡

路过她所在的地方后，我在那条路上随意地走，太阳不强，微微有些热，右前方出现一片树林，大树有成人腰围粗，小树细如人腿，草地上见不到阳光射下来的踪迹，我顿时清凉不少，快步走入这片福地。

往里瞧，树林里有一根吊床在荡漾，上面躺了个拿手机的女人在乘凉，旁边应该是她的小孩，蹲在草地里自由玩耍。地下弯曲着石板路，沿路走进去，居然出现一片不知通向何方的荷塘，水面浮满青萍，水边有一大丛一人高的水草，在微风吹拂下轻轻摇摆。荷塘上还有一架狭窄平直的石桥，两头一株是高大的垂柳，另一株是一颗树形如花菜的大树，仿佛一位窈窕淑女和一位翩翩少年隔而相望。荷塘岸边散乱堆积着粗糙的大石头，一位短袖汉子手擒鱼竿，他站一会，又一屁股坐在石头上，看鱼漂的动静，鱼漂扎在三片荷叶丛的空当中间，荡起一圈圈水纹，不知是鱼咬钩还是被风吹动。一会儿功夫，我亲眼看到他的钓竿拉上来一条小鱼。

环绕荷塘，是一丛茂密但矮小的景观植物，植物中间窜出一排枝叶繁盛的小树，外层是一棵棵高耸的树，树梢上头是一大片灰白的云和浅蓝的天。树林间偶有小鸟滑翔过去，也有雀儿落在荷塘边的石头上，在岸边轻快地移动觅食。

我盘腿坐在岸边大石头上，任风吹拂，耳边时而响起沉闷的蛙鸣，又时而刮起一阵蝉叫，从身后树林传来三四种欢快的鸟声，骤然响起的，是穿过树林传来的汽车喇叭音，头顶和身后茂密的树叶，在一阵劲风拂动下，发出绵绵的涛声，我也顿时感到一股凉意，正出神享受的间隙，一趟列车呼啸而过，持续锐利而响亮的声音，穿过树丛的阻拦，轻易打破了荷塘的安宁。

散文是最自由的文体，没有任何的束缚和限制，而散文也最让人心静。在自己浮躁、迷茫的时候读读散文，会让自己的内心平静下来，进而产生对于“生命”、“理想”的思考。

下面推荐的几本散文，都带给了我很多的思考，都是应该在手捧一杯清茶静品的书，希望它们能带给你片刻的宁静。

一个灵魂已经觉醒的人，你不会再嘲笑和伤害别人，因为你知道，其实别人只是附在另一躯体上的最敏感的你。

都说梨花像雪，其实苹果花才像雪。雪是厚重的，不是透明的。梨花像什么呢？——梨花的瓣子是月亮做的。

无竹令人俗，无肉使人瘦，若要不俗也不瘦，餐餐笋煮肉。

以清净心看世界，以欢喜心过生活，以平常心生情味，以柔软心除挂碍。

梦想之所以贵重，是因为它承载至善的心。

这四本书初读时可能会让你产生“枯燥”之感，觉得自己放着“正事”不做去看这些略显晦涩的文字，但这才是平复内心戾气的关键，只有静下心来，才能读得进去。

说两句题外话，我在刚才往前翻的时候才发现这几本散文集清一色的绿色和白色。我最喜欢的颜色是自由又带点忧郁的蓝色，但绿色我也不讨厌。散文一直给人一种清淡自然之感，这和它的“散”有关，且散文的内容多是生活琐事，贴近自然、贴近生活，如此才有了这般富有生活气息的绿色。

人间有味是清欢。

《晨雨初听》

“只有书籍，能把遥远的时间和广阔的空间带来给你;只有书籍，能把高贵生命早已飘散的信号传递给你;只有书籍，能把一切美好与智慧对比着丑陋与愚蠢呈现给你。”

这句话摘自余秋雨先生的《晨雨初听》，初读《晨雨初听》便体会到读书的过程其实是一场心路的旅程，我们内心是需要一场又一场的旅行来充盈自己的。

余秋雨

现为中国文化史学者，文学家，散文家，作家，我国当代著名艺术理论家，国 务院新闻办中国网专栏作家、专家。1968年，他毕业于上海戏剧学院戏剧文学系。历任上海戏剧学院院长、教授，上海剧协副主席。1962年开始发表作品。1991年加入中国作家协会。著有系列散文集《文化苦旅》、《山居笔记》、《霜冷长河》、《千年一叹》、《行者无疆》、《摩挲大地》、《寻觅中华》等，文化通史问学余秋雨长篇记忆文学《借我一生》、我等不到了等，学术专著《戏剧理论史稿》、《戏剧审美心理学》、中国戏剧文化史述、《艺术创造工程》、《中国戏剧史》、《艺术创造论》、《观众心理学》等。

余秋雨的散文大多以景物为题名，但是他不同于以往散文只关注景物的自然现象，多以个人的感情抒发和自我表现为主，而是用他深邃的目光，透过这些现象，把关注的焦点定位在这些自然景观背后所沉淀的文化内涵上。正如作者所说的：“我发现我特别想去的地方，总是古代文化和文人留下的较深脚印所在，说明我的心底的山水，并不是完全的自然山水，而是一种人文山水。”

《晨雨初听》中的选文，不仅渗透着宏大的历史印迹，还流露出对普通人的深情感怀。长者以深情的笔墨，叙述了自己的老师——张可的大半生传奇的人生，一个勇敢的革命者，一个高雅、博学的教师，一个在漫长灾难中不懈护卫丈夫的好妻子。字里行间流露出自己与张可老师之间深厚的师生情谊，读之感人；老屋窗口表达了对小学同学河英的怀念，信客叙述邻村两代信客的风尘苦旅以及不同际遇……这些人、这些事，会在你不经意间，深深地震撼了你的心灵。夜雨诗意借李商隐的著名夜雨寄北切入，用诗般的语言，形象地描写夜雨的诗意，剖析了旅行者雨夜的思绪，那么真挚、动人；中秋从张爱玲中秋之死切入，以简练的语言总结了她的一生：“一颗敏感的灵魂，一种精致的生态，风韵永存。”透过这些诗人、作家，余秋雨把文化静悄悄地值入他的散文中，在你没有察觉的时候，浸润着你的心田。

作品选节

夜雨是行旅的大敌。

倒不是因为夜间行路艰难。夜雨会使旅行者想家，想得很深很深。夜雨会使旅行者企望安逸，突然憬悟到自己身陷僻远、孤苦的处境，顾影自怜，构成万里豪情的羁绊。

不是急流险滩，不是崇山峻岭，而是夜雨，使无数旅行者顿生反悔，半途而归........

奥运诗朗诵

多少个风风火火的日子

多少次风风雨雨的磨练

多少个日日夜夜的等待

多少次朝朝暮暮的期盼

让我们放飞梦想

更真更纯更美

让我们追求卓越

更快更高更强

多少个甜甜蜜蜜的祝福

多少次默默无闻的注目

多少个感人肺腑的话语

多少次震撼人心的呐喊

让我们喜迎彩虹

更真更纯更美

让我们走向辉煌

更快更高更强啊

奥运因为我们而精彩

北京因为我们而骄傲

五一诗朗诵

翻开五月的日历

我们仿佛看见

那怒形于色的人群

正潮水般的涌向天安门前

翻开五月的日历

我们仿佛听见

那激越高昂的呼声

越八十年的时光隧道

正清晰的响在耳边

还我青岛拒签和约

内惩国贼外争国权

祖国母亲岂容蹂躏

中华大地哪能踏践

这是一群热血青年正义的呐喊

这是一群爱国志士光荣宣言

象一座岩浆迸发的火山

似一柄刺向黑暗的利剑

似一股奔涌而来的洪流

似一只搏击风浪的海燕

痛打卖国贼人心大快

火烧曹家宅义愤冲天

血腥镇压何所惧

我以我血轩辕溅

这是一场反帝反封建的伟大胜利

这是一个非同寻常的历史转折点

这是一面永远高扬的旗帜

我是一首永恒的爱国诗篇

翻开五月的日历

我的思绪飘飞的得很远很远

翻开五月的日历

我的心里又添了几许忧患

伊拉克上空仍笼罩着战争的阴云

科索沃大地正弥漫着浓烈硝烟

霸权主义者随意干涉它国内政

日本右翼分子矢口否认侵华历史

世界和平的交响乐不和谐的旋律时隐时现

漫长的人类社会呀

演绎了多少苦难的岁月

悠久的历史文明啊

又有多少悲剧频频上演

无数个铁的事实告诉我们

愚昧就被欺凌

落后就要挨打

翻开五月日历

我的信心倍增

干劲冲天

信念是坚固的堡垒

理想象燃烧的火焰

和平的呼声早响彻全球

友谊种子已扎根心田

时代的号角已在大江南北响起

改革的春风正在沭阳大地吹遍

年轻的朋友信

让我们高扬五四鲜红的旗帜

团结一心务实苦干

奋起直追自强不息

去拥抱新世纪

去拥抱辉煌灿烂的明天

再见了，母校

再见了，母校

深深地鞠躬，轻轻地呼唤……

我轻轻地挥手

总挥不去三年积淀的幸福时光

我频频地回眸

看见您深情款款，总让我驻足彷徨

告别母校

让脚步沉重的不是背上的行囊

而是离别的哀伤

再也不能漫步在科艺苑的林荫小道

再也不能聆听树丛里的小鸟鸣唱

再也不能与恩师们探讨人生哲理

再也不能与同窗畅谈人生理想

告别了

在这个流火般的炎炎夏日

留下了

怎么也难以忘怀的读书时光

也曾在假山水池边久久伫立

细听春雨轻轻拍打着池边的树梢

也曾在幸福亭里谈天说地

相互倾诉着学习的快乐与烦恼

也曾在耀华楼上静心苦读

于书山书海里探寻属于自己的梦想

也曾在大自然中尽情徜徉

把人生、价值、义务和责任一一探讨

校园的绿荫记住了我们靓丽的倩影

校园的小道刻下了我们匆匆的脚印

校园的阶梯留下了我们文明的举止

校园的操场永驻下我们矫健的身影

那棵小树，我曾亲手替它施肥

它才有了今天如此的茁壮

那朵小花，我曾亲自为它浇水

它才有了今天如此的芬芳

那片片纸屑，我们轻轻把它们拾起

校园才有了今天如此的美丽

那扇扇门窗，我们细细把它们擦净

耀华才有了今天如此崭新的形象

白玉兰啊

你为何总是在我们离别的季节孤独开放

紫薇花啊

你为何总是让我们无端地勾起离别的忧伤

种下吧，为母校种下一株纪念树

让小树与我们一起成长

种下吧，为自己种下一棵相思树

让我们与母校同心相向

告别了，母校

心中总有一份留恋

只因，以后我们天各一方

告别了，老师

不知何年才能相聚

别离的眼泪早已挂满脸庞

离别前

我们想踏遍母校的边边角角

将甜蜜的回忆留在每个地方

这里有逝去的岁月

这里有年少的轻狂

可是

我们却没有时间去重温旧日的容颜

因为时钟已指向2005年6月

我们将永远地离开

不再在新学期里出现

离别之际

将甜蜜与哀伤同时摄入心底

只因转过这个人生路口

将不再拥有这道风景

所有的一切将只能在梦中回忆

再见吧，母校

虽然我已收拾好行囊

却把悲伤撒了一地

再见吧，母校

虽然我们会永远分离

但我们永远不会把您忘记

只有你有爷爷吗?

Once upon a time there was a nice young man called Karim. He used to sell caps for a living, and roam around several villages. One day he would be in village A, the other day people would find him in village B.

It was an afternoon in summer and he was traversing the vast plains when he felt tired and wanted to have a nap. He found a nice mango tree with lots of branches and cool shade, placed his bag of caps beside him and went to sleep. Tired as he was, he was quickly fast asleep. When he woke up after a refreshing little nap, he found that there weren't any caps in his bag!

"Oh, Allah!", he said to himself, "Did the thieves have to find me of all people?" But then he noticed that the mango tree was full of cute monkeys wearing colourful caps!

He yelled at the monkeys and they screamed back.He made faces at them and found the monkeys to be experts at that. He threw a stone at them and they showered him with raw mangoes.

Frustrated, he took off his own cap and slammed it on the ground. And Lo, the stupid monkeys threw their caps too! Smart Karim didn't waste a second, collected the caps and was on his way.

50 years later, young Abdul, grandson of famous Karim who was also working hard at making money and doing his family business, was going through the same jungle.

After a long walk he was very tired and found a nice mango tree with lots of branches and cool shade. Abdul decided to rest a while and very soon was fast asleep. A few hours later, when Abdul woke up, he realised that all the caps from his bag were gone! Abdul started searching for the same and to his surprise found some monkeys sitting on mango tree wearing his caps.

Abdul was frustrated and didn't know what to do. And then he remembered the story his grandfather proudly used to tell him.

"Yes! I can fool these monkeys!!!", said Abdul. "I'll make them imitate me and very soon I'll get all my caps back!"

Abdul waved at the monkeys - the Monkeys waved at Abdul

Abdul started dancing - the Monkeys were also dancing

Abdul pulled his ears - the Monkeys pulled their ears

Abdul raised his hands - the Monkeys raised their hands

Abdul threw his cap on the ground...

Just then, one of the monkeys jumped down from the tree, grabbed the cap Abdul threw on the ground and walked up to Abdul, said: "Do you think ONLY YOU HAD A GRANDFATHER?"
