The Selfish Monkey
One day, a little monkey felt that summer was too hot; the heat was so intense that he could hardly catch his breath. So he walked far away from home to a small pond, wanting to take a nice, refreshing cool bath. Suddenly, he noticed many young sugarcane shoots growing beside the pond. The monkey became very curious and thought to himself, "If only I had sugarcane at home, I could eat it there to cool down, and I wouldn't have to run all the way here for a bath."
