It's an old story that we read in Class 3 but with a new ending.
A hat-seller who was passing by a forest decided to take a nap under
one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side. A few
hours later, he woke up and realized that all his hats were gone. He looked
up and to his surprise, the tree was full of monkeys and
they had taken all his hats.
The hat seller sits down and thinks of how he can get the hats down.
While thinking he started to scratch his head. The next moment, the
monkeys were doing the same. Next, he took down his own hat, the monkeys did
exactly the same. An idea came to his mind* He took his hat and threw it on
the floor and the monkeys did that too. So he finally managed to get all his
hats back.
Fifty years later, his grandson, Sukhwinder, also became a hat-seller
and had heard this monkey story from his grandfather. One day, just like his
grandfather, he passed by the same forest. It was very hot, and he took a
nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor.
He woke up and realized that all his hats were taken by the monkeys on the
tree.
He remembered his grandfather's words, started scratching his head and the
monkeys followed. He took down his hat and fanned himself and again the
monkeys followed. Now, very convinced of his grandfather's idea, Sukhwinder
threw his hat on the floor but to his surprise, the monkeys still held on to
all the hats.
Then one monkey climbed down the tree, grabbed the hat on the floor,
gave him a slap and said, "You think only you have a grandfather !!!???"
