THE MONKEY BUSINESS STORY

Once upon a time, lived a lot of monkeys near a  remote village.

One day a very rich merchant came to the village to buy these monkeys! He announced at the village market square that he will buy the monkeys at $100 each. passers by villagers thought the merchant to be insane. They thought how can a reasonable person buy stray monkeys at $100 each?
Yet, some smart ones caught some monkeys and gave it to this merchant and he gave $100 for each monkey. 
This news spread like wildfire and people caught monkeys and sold it to the merchant.

After a few days, the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys at $200 each. The lazy villagers also ran around to catch the remaining monkeys!

AN ACT OF HONESTY

 An emperor who was growing old and knew it was coming time to choose his successor, decided to do something different instead of choosing one of his assistants or one of his own children.

He called all the young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, "It's time for me to step down and to choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you." The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today. One seed each. It is a very special seed. I want you to go home, plant the seed, water it and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring to me, and the one I choose will be the next emperor of the kingdom!"

THE DEAF FROG


A Frog decided to Reach Top of the Tree.
 Spectators at the scene gave them their support, some were chanting "ride on! ride on! while others who think they could not get there were shouting; “Its impossible, Its Impossible…”

Little by little, the frogs felt disappointed and discouraged, except for one of them that continued climbing tirelessly.  soon, listening repeatedly to the cry of the  spectators negative words, made the frogs to abandon the race after all, except for the one frog that, despite what people were saying, continued to climb and finally reached the top of the tree.
 

Amazed by the spectators, who wanted to know how she had managed to get to the top. They came to her and asked her what her secret was.

And it happened to be that… she was deaf!


Moral

 Do not listen to people who are negative in their intentions.
 Be deaf to discouraging words if your aim is to reach your goal

would send my admirers crazy this xmas and i will take a good
pose shot when my uncle who is a photographer comes".
The younger one cut in and added;
"sister i 'll join you in taking a good shot"
" how dare you compete with me, don't you know your peer group?" snarled the elderly sibling "seems you don't have regards anymore, anyways you wont take a shot with me, go look for your mate," she added. The younger one felt embarrassed and angrily replied- "i will take a snap shot with you." "you won't" said the sister. soon they began to quarrel and a fight ensued. An old woman watching close, intervened and settled the dispute.
she advised they should be patient and at least wait for that day
to come.
lesson
Sometimes we constantly fight over issues that are not weighty
and fail to realize the cost.
Always think the aftermath of your action before you act.
