The King and the Foolish Monkey

Once upon a time, there was a king who had a pet monkey. This monkey was very loyal to the king and was always by his side. The king treated the monkey like a close friend and allowed him to accompany him wherever he went.

One hot summer day, the king decided to take a nap under the shade of a tree. The monkey, ever watchful and loyal, sat nearby to guard the king as he slept. As the king lay resting, a fly began to buzz around his face, bothering him in his sleep. The monkey saw this and decided to protect the king from the pesky fly.

The monkey swatted at the fly with his hand, but the fly quickly dodged the attack and returned to bother the king. The monkey grew angrier and more determined to get rid of the fly. He decided that he would use the king's sword to make sure the fly would not bother the king anymore.

The foolish monkey took the king's sword and waited for the perfect moment to strike. The fly landed on the king's nose, and the monkey saw his chance. With a swift swing of the sword, the monkey tried to kill the fly. However, he not only missed the fly but also accidentally cut off the king's nose.

The king awoke in immense pain and was horrified to find that his loyal monkey had caused such harm. The foolish monkey realized the terrible mistake he had made but could do nothing to undo it. The king, left with a disfigured face, could no longer trust the monkey and banished him from the kingdom.
