Once there lived a monkey on a banyan tree. A kind gentleman lived near the banyan tree. Under the tree was a well where the passersby stopped to quench their thirst.
In order to help the monkey drink water, the man placed a trough by the side of the well so that whoever drank water from the well used fill the trough with water for the monkey.One hot summer day, the monkey came to drink water but as no one had passed by, the trough was empty. Seeing him, the kind man filled the trough. The monkey quenched his thirst and then started making faces at the man. Annoyed, the man asked, "Is this how you return my favour?" At this, the monkey gave a loud screech and climbing up the tree, spat on the man.
The man scowled in anger and decided never to pour any water into the trough again.
Moral: BE THANKFUL TO THOSE WHO HELP YOU !!!
