The Unforgiving Monkey

The Unforgiving Monkey

The sons of Mohan, a king, kept a group of monkeys as pets.

The finest foods and the best care were given to these monkeys, who were treated as if they were royal pets. They had grown fat because they had nothing to do.

These monkeys' leader was extremely knowledgeable. The learned from numerous sciences and followed great philosophers. He tried to teach the other monkeys all the time, but they were too caught up in their luxuries to follow much of what he taught them.

 In contrast, the young princes' carriage was pulled by two powerful rams—billy goats—owned by the princes.

One of the rams was a glutton, and whenever he could, he would sneak into the kitchen and eat whatever was there. The cooks would keep an eye out because this made them very angry. When the ram was near the kitchen, the cooks would hit him with anything they could find.

The chief of the monkeys thought, "This behavior could lead to accidents, and this entire city may perish," as he observed the cooks hitting him with sticks, earthen pots, copper pans, and anything else they could find. What if they threw something that was burning?

The head of monkeys gathered the other monkey and said, "The way of behaving of the cooks towards the slam can prompt some incident quickly, and we likely could be on the horrible side, assuming that is to occur. We must leave this location before an accident occurs.

Yet, the other monkeys were partaking in their luxurious treatment, and didn't return to the wilderness. They decided to remain despite the chief's warnings. They were under the impression that the chief was getting old and was having all sorts of strange thoughts.

As a result, the head monkey decided to remain alone. "You are more foolish than insane for not anticipating the danger," he declared. I'm leaving because I value life more than the plentiful food here!"

One day, the ram entered the kitchen and ate some food that was being prepared to be served to the king after the chief monkey had left on his own to the jungle.

Unable to find anything else, one of the cooks became extremely irate and threw a half-burnt log out of the oven. The stick struck the ram. The ram's body immediately caught fire because it was covered in wool. In the agony of fire on him, the smash raced to the stable. The stable as a whole went up in flames as soon as the dry grass for the horses caught fire.

The horses were severely burned by the ensuing chaos when the palace workers finally put out the fire. When the news got to the king, he was very sad that his favorite horses had been hurt. He called in veterinary surgeons to tell him what to do.

The veterinary surgeons advised, "O King, the wounds caused by fire will recover quickly, if they are applied with monkey's fat," after quoting numerous scriptures.

As a result, the king instructed the capture and immediate killing of all pet monkeys. The horse's wounds were then treated with the fat from their bodies.

The chief of the monkeys was very sad when he heard this news. He was thinking, "The king is wicked for doing this to his pets, but the monkeys were foolish not to heed the warnings." He will be held accountable by me!"

Because he was so devastated, he had stopped drinking water and eating for several days. He wandered off and found a tranquil lotus lake. He decided to drink some water because he was dehydrated. He noticed that there were numerous human and animal footprints that led to the lake, but not one footprint that led away from the lake.

He became mindful, and closed there should be an off-base thing in this delightfully embellished lake. He used some nearby lotus plant hollow stems as a pipe to drink water from a distance.

A monster appeared from the lake as he was doing this. He wore a jewel-studded necklace around his neck. He said, "I'm a beast who lives in this lake. I end up in the stomach of whoever enters this lake to bathe or drink water. I haven't seen anyone as wise as you in so many years! You keep a distance from me so I can't touch you, but you drink water from the lake. I will grant any wish you may have because I am so pleased with you!"

The monkey chief said, "Tell me, how many can you eat?" as soon as he realized he had to exact revenge. A particular king is my foe. I will use your necklace to convince the king and his men to enter the lake if you give me your necklace.

The monster replied, "I can eat thousands of them if they enter the lake." Take as many as you can with you!"

To get to the palace as soon as possible, the chief monkey jumped from tree to tree while wearing the necklace around his neck. He went straight into the ruler's court.

The king and everyone else were intrigued when they saw the chief of monkeys wearing a stunning necklace of jewels. They posed a wide range of inquiries to the monkey king.

"O king, while wandering in the jungle, I have come across a large treasure that has been hidden by Kuber (God of treasures)," the chief of monkeys said to the king. It is concealed within a lake. Anybody, who cleans up in the lake on a Sunday, can have however much fortune that he can convey. In comparison to the other treasures there, this necklace is nothing! The jewels in the lake would try and embarrass the sun!"

"Hey Monkey Chief, if this lake really exists, please take lead us to it," the king said when he heard this. I will personally visit to see it, and I will even bring everyone in the palace with me."

The decision was made, and the king and chief of the monkeys set out into the jungle early on Sunday morning. The princes, queens, ministers, housewives, and everyone else in the palace followed them.

Everyone was awestruck when they got there to see the lotus-filled lake. "Everyone should enter the lake at the same time, or only the first few will receive the blessings," the chief of monkeys advised. Regarding you, my king, you ought to wait. After they have entered the lake, I will show you a special entrance location."

Everyone else followed the greedy king's instructions and entered the lake. They began to vanish one by one. The king kept waiting impatiently for them to return bearing riches.

The king questioned the monkey chief, "O Monkey Chief, why do they not come out?," when his relatives and people continued to remain in the lake. Why are they so time-consuming?"

"O wicked king, a monster lives in this very lake and has eaten all your court members and relatives," the chief of the monkeys replied as he climbed a tree. As you have done to mine, I have now murdered your entire family. According to the Bible, "returning evil for evil deeds" is not a sin.

"I have saved you because you were once my master!" he went on to say. You might go back to your palace alone and without anything."

As a result, the chief of monkeys exacted his vengeance while the king returned to his palace after losing all of his family and household members.
