Once there was a man who sold caps. He carried many caps in a basket on his head. He was a cap-seller. One day, he slept under a tree. There were monkeys on the tree. They came down from the tree. They took away all the caps. The cap-seller woke up. He saw the basket was empty! He looked around and above. The monkeys were wearing his caps. The cap-seller shook his fists at the monkeys. They also did the same. The cap-seller scratched his head. The monkeys did the same. The cap-seller had an idea! He took off his cap and threw it into the empty basket. The monkeys also did the same. The cap-seller got all his caps back and went away happily.
