42. OF MONKEYS AND MANGOES
Some travellers in the course of their journey happened to be resting under a mango tree which was loaded with mangoes. They wished to eat the mangoes but the monkeys on the tree would not let them. The travellers saw a way out. Considering the true nature of monkeys, they threw clods of earth at the monkeys. The apes retaliated by throwing mangoes at them. This is how man's cleverness prevails.
