A Bihari 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 monkeys and they had taken all his hats.
The Bihari sits down and thinks of how he 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 he finally managed to get all his hats back.
Fifty years later, his grandson, Laloo, also became a hat-seller and had heard this monkey story from his grandfather.
One day, just like his grandfather, he passed by the same forest. It
was very hot, and he took a nap under the same tree and left the hats
on the floor.
