The Pet Monkey

Once upon a time a king ruled over a beautiful kingdom. The king was enjoying all the rich luxurious life a king can get. He had a pet monkey who grew very chubby day by day, as the king fed him fancy food and took care of him as his own baby. All the king’s servants also took good care of the monkey.. The king was so confident and amused by his pet monkey and trusted the monkey that he made him his bodyguard!

One day, the king decided to take a walk in the garden in the afternoon. The monkey went alongside the king and queen. After a long walk the king decided to take a little nap in the shade of a huge tree along with his queen. As the king was slept the monkey was trained to watch over him so no one disturbs his sleep and then he dozed off. After a while, a bee started buzzing around the king’s head and the monkey brought down the sword on the bee and in doing, so he chopped off the king’s head!! The queen who was sleeping next to the king woke up and realized what had happened. She asked the guards immediately to capture the monkey and take the sword away but it was too late!!. Unfortunately, the king had died instantly and the monkey was taken back to his forest. This sad incident could have been avoided if the foolish king had not trusted the monkey with a sword.
