Once upon a time there
was a nice young man called Karim. He used
to sell caps for a living. It was an afternoon in summer when
he felt tired and wanted to have a nap.
He found a nice mango tree with lots of branches and cool shade,
placed his bag of caps beside him and went to sleep. Tired as he
was, he was quickly fast asleep.
When he woke up after a refreshing little nap, he found that there
weren't any caps in his bag! He noticed that the mango tree was
full of cute monkeys wearing colorful caps! He yelled at the
monkeys and they screamed back. He made faces at them and found
the monkeys to be experts at that. He threw a stone at them and
they showered him with raw mangoes.
"Ya Allah, how do I get my caps back," he said.
Frustrated, he took off his own cap and slammed it on the ground.
And Lo, the! stupid monkeys threw their caps too! Smart Karim
didn't waste a second, collected the caps and was on his way.
50 YEARS LATER....
Young Abdul, grandson of famous topiwala Karim who was also working
hard at making $$$ doing his family business, was going
through the same jungle. After a long walk he was very tired and
found a nice mango tree with lots of branches and cool shade.
Abdul decided to rest a while and very soon was fast asleep. A few
hours later, when Abdul woke up, he realized that all the caps
from his bag were gone! Abdul started searching for the same and to
his surprise found some monkeys sitting on mango tree
wearing his caps.
Abdul was frustrated and didn't know what to do. And then he
remembered a story his grandfathers proudly used to let him.
"Yes!!!! I can fool these monkeys!!!", said Abdul. "I'll make them
imitate me and very soon I'! ll get all my caps back!"
Abdul waved at the monkeys-the Monke ys waved at Abdul Abdul blew
his nose-the monkeys blew their noses Abdul started
dancing-the Monkeys were also dancing Abdul pulled his ears-the
Monkeys pulled their ears Abdul raised his hands-the Monkeys
raised their hands....
Abdul threw his cap on the ground ............... one of the
monkeys jumped down from the tree, walked up to Abdul; slapped him and said
"Do you think ONLY YOU HAD A GRANDFATHER?????"
