A lost dog strays into a jungle. A lion sees this from a distance and says with caution,”this guy looks edible,never seen this kind before.” So the lion start rushing towards the dog with menace.

The dog notices and starts panic. But as he’s about to run,he sees some bones next to him and gets an idea and says loudly,”Hmm,that was some good lion meat.” The lion abruptly stops and says,”Whao! This guy seems tougher than he looks. I better leave while I can.”

Over by the treetop,a monkey witnessed everything. Evidently,the monkey realizes that he can benefit from this situation by telling the lion ans getting something in return. So the monkey proceeds to tell the lion what really happened. And the lion says angrily,” Get on my back. We’ll get him together.” So they start rushing back to the dog.

The dog sees them and realized what happened and start to panic even more. He than gets another idea and shouts,”Where the hell is that monkey?! I told him to bring me the another lion an hour ago.”

Moral of the story, never lose confidence in the difficult situations. Use all of your wit and knowledge in the face of challenges and beware of such monkeys around you. Identify them before they harm you.
