A hat-seller sold colourful
hats.
He carried them in a basket
and walked from one town to another.
One day, after selling hats
in a town, he began walking towards another town.
He became very tired so he
kept his basket down and fell asleep under a tree.
Some monkeys lived on the
tree.
They saw the box of hats.
They saw the hat on the hat-seller’s
head.
The monkeys climbed down.
They opened the lid of the
basket, wore the hats on their heads, and began to play.
After some time, the
hat-seller woke up.
He was shocked to see the
empty basket.
He looked up and saw the
monkeys on the tree wearing the colourful hats.
He shouted at the monkeys.
The monkeys shouted back at
him.
He tried to climb the tree
to get his hats back.
But the monkeys climbed
further up.
Sadly, the hat-seller
climbed down and threw his hat to the ground.
Surprise!
The monkeys also threw the
hats to the ground.
The hat-seller quickly
gathered all the hats in the basket and put the lid on.
Then he waved good-bye to
the monkeys.
The monkeys waved good-bye
to him.
