There was a forest where some monkeys lived. With the arrival of summer, the ponds and canals in the forest completely dried up. One day, the monkeys were extremely thirsty. They crossed the forest in search of water. There, they saw shimmering waves of water in the sand.
Thinking that they were water, the monkeys ran towards it in a group. When they went to the shore, they saw that there was no water there, but they saw shimmering waves of water a little further away. With that, the monkeys ran back ahead. Thus, the monkeys continued searching for water in the sun along the shimmering waves.
“If I don’t wet my throat with water, I will die,” said
one monkey pitifully. “What can we do… I can see water but I can’t reach it. What is this…” said another monkey. A rabbit lived in the bush. The rabbit saw everything that happened. She came and stood in front of the monkeys to help them.
“Is there water anywhere in the shimmering waves? There is a pond nearby. Go there and quench your thirst,” she said. Hearing this, the monkeys became very angry.
“Are we stupid?” said one monkey, jumping up on the rabbit and grabbing its neck. “What I am saying is true. Believe me,” the rabbit shouted in fear. The monkey knocked the rabbit down hard. The rabbit screamed and died.
Moral : If you tell the good of fools, this is the result
