The Monkeys and the Bell

A herd of monkeys found a bell in a jungle. Every night, the monkeys listened to its melodious tune. But the villagers were frightened by the sound of the bell. Then, an intelligent woman from the village went to the jungle and sought the truth.

She found that a herd of monkeys was ringing the bell. The woman placed some groundnuts and fruits under a tree. After this, the woman sat down afar and watched. The monkeys left the bell and pounced on the food underneath the tree. The woman quickly picked up the bell and returned to the village. The other villagers praised the woman's intelligence.

No one should be perplexed by ordinary matters. Intelligence and courage can help confront all our worries.
