        THE MONKEY AND THE RED BERRIES 

During a cold and bitter winter, a large group of monkeys in a forest had no shelter. So when the snow fell and chilly winds blew, they shivered and caught cold.

The monkeys decided to go to the nearest village and live with the humans till winter was over. As soon the humans saw monkeys,they chased them away with sticks and stones.the poor monkeys had to return to the forest.

The monkeys had seen the humans lighting fires to keep themselves warm.the monkeys gathered dried sticks and looked for fire. There were several bushes with red berries on them. The excited monkeys exclaimed we have found fire.

They picked many red berries piled them under and over the sticks and blew and blew.nothing happened. A little bird saw them and cried that's not the way to light a fire those are fruits how can you light a fire with fruits .

The monkeys grew red with anger . A monkey said be quite we never asked for your advice. The Little Bird carried on chipping. Finally one angry monkey caught her by the neck and killed her.

Moral: You will get in to trouble if you advise fools
