King and Foolish monkey

Long, long ago, there lived a king in a beautiful palace. He was very fond of monkeys. He had one favorite monkey as a friend. The king thought that the monkey was very clever so he kept the him as a bodyguard.

One day the king went to the visit his kingdom. When he came back from visiting, he was very tired and sleepy. So, that day he went to sleep early. He told his monkey, “Keep a watch around so that no one disturbs me while I sleep!” The monkey said, “Okay!” and sat beside the king and guarded him with a sword in his hand. 

After a while, the monkey heard a buzzing around the room. One fly sat on the face of the sleeping king. The monkey tried very hard to shew away the fly but it kept on buzzing over the king’s face. It flew and sat on his nose again and again.

Irritated and angry monkey said, “I am going to kill you!” So, when the fly sat on the king’s nose once again, he hit it with a sword. The fly flew away but the sword fell on the king’s nose and his nose was cut off. So, the poor king laid there on his bed without a nose.

Moral: A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend.
