The Monkey and the Donkey

One sunny afternoon, a playful monkey climbed to the roof of a house and began entertaining the crowd below with its clever antics and amusing tricks. The people were delighted, laughing and applauding as the monkey continued to perform.

Watching from the side was a donkey who craved attention and wanted to be as admired as the monkey. Eager to impress, the donkey climbed to the roof and tried to imitate the monkey’s performance. However, in its clumsy attempt, the donkey caused several tiles to fall off the roof, creating a mess and damaging the property.

The owner of the house, furious at the damage, sent his servants up to chase the donkey away. They drove the donkey down from the roof and punished it harshly for causing trouble.

Moral of the story: What works for others may not work for you. It’s important to be yourself and not try to copy others just for the sake of popularity.
