Lazy Monkey

There is a daddy monkey lives together with a baby monkey in a village. Everyday, the daddy monkey goes to the village, helps the villagers to pluck the coconuts from coconut tress. In return, the villagers give him a lot of bananas to eat. The daddy monkey always brings back the bananas for his child.

One day, the daddy asks the young monkey to follow him to the village.

"I'm getting old. You have to learn how to climb up the coconut trees and pluck the coconuts. You need to learn the skill so that you can do it for living," says the daddy.

But the young monkey refuses, "I can do it if I have too. Monkeys are born to climb trees."

One day, the daddy monkey falls sick and can't go to work for a few days. The young monkey has no choice but go to "earn" the bananas from villagers.

Unfortunately, the young monkey is not familiar to climb the coconut tree. He falls down from the tree while plucking a coconut. He breaks his leg has to lie on the bed for the rest of his life.
