The Monkeys Go Fasting (India) #Inspirational Moral Stories
One day, some monkeys decided to go
on a fast. They thought that before starting the fast they should keep them
food ready with which they would break the fast. So, they gathered some
delicious bananas. Then they thought of sharing bananas amongst them before beginning
the fast. One of them suggested that they should peel off the bananas and keep
them ready to eat after the fast. So they peeled off the bananas and decided
that they would not eat them under any condition before evening. A little
monkey then asked if he could just keep the banana in his mouth but promised
not to eat it till evening. They all liked the idea and each monkey put a
banana in his mouth so that he might chew it immediately when he would break
the fast. Everyone thought that as long as he did not eat it, it was fine to
keep the banana in his mouth. One by one they eyed one another uncomfortably as
they began their fast. As it was obvious and expected, within no time, the
bananas disappeared down their gullets. This was the end of their fast.
