A Sailor and the Monkeys
words: 167
Long long ago there lived a sailor in a country. Once he was returning from a voyage. He was caught in a violent storm. His boat sank in the river. He struggled in the river to save his life. He lost his way. Suddenly the storm abated and he found himself in an unknown island. He became very thirsty and hungry. He was trying to get food and drink in that strange island. He started searching for food everywhere. By chance he found some coconut trees. He tried to climb upon the trees. But they were so tall that he could upon them. Suddenly he found some monkeys sitting on the top of a coconut tree. He made a plan as he knew that monkeys are imitative by nature. He started to throw stones at the monkeys. In return the monkeys also started throwing coconuts at him.
