The Hat Seller

A hat-seller who was passing by a forest decided to take a nap under one of the trees, so he left his whole basket of hats by the side.
A few hours later, he woke up and realized that all his hats were gone.
He looked up and to his surprise, the tree was full of monkeysand they had taken all his hats. The man sits down and thinks of howhe can get the hats down. While thinking he started to scratch his head.
The next moment,the monkeys were doing the same.Next, he took down his own hat,the monkeys did exactly the same.
An idea came to him, he took his hat and threw it on the floor and the monkeys did that too. So hefinally managed to get all his hats back.
Fifty years later, his grandson,also became a hat-sellerand had heard this monkey story from his grandfather.
One day, just like his grandfather, he passed bythe same forest.
It wasvery hot, and he took a nap under the same tree and left the hats on the floor.He woke up and realized that all his hats were taken by the monkeys on the tree.
He remembered hisgrand father's words,started scratching his head and themonkeys followed. He tookdownhis hat and fanned himself and again the monkeys followed.
Now, very convinced of his grandfather's idea, he threw his hat onthe floor but to his surprise, the monkeys still held on to all the hats.
Then one monkey climbed downthe tree, grabbed the hat on the floor, gave him a slap and said............ ......... ......
Guess What????????

u keep on surprising me with interesting writings here on your blog....
i loved the story...yeah as u said it has lots of meaningful things within it,and guess what?everyone reading it can get something different from another one also reading it
i think some people think they r the only smart ones on earth and dont take notice there r also other smart people living among us.
another thing from that story i got is that we sometimes stick to the past and take the easiest way and dont try to invent new ways of thinking..we just say to ourselves better to play it safe than trying a new thing it might successed or fail....
i loved the part from the story when the monkey get down and slapped the man and told him u think u r the only one who has a grandparent:))))))
