A Short Story...

All of you know the story of the cap-seller and the monkeys...
For all those who did not study kindergarten continue reading.. For those who know the story jump to the next para..
A cap seller once went to a town to sell caps(obviously.. a cap-seller sells caps!! :P). He went to a park after a long and tiring day and fell asleep. When he woke up, all his caps except the one on his head were missing. He looked around but couldn't spot them. Then he looked on the trees and to his horror, there were a lot of monkeys and each of them had a cap from his basket. The cap-seller scratched his head. The monkeys scratched their head. An idea came into his head. He threw his cap on the floor. All the monkeys threw their cap on the floor. The cap-seller picked up his caps and went away happily.

Now the cap-seller grew old and passed on the profession to his son. He very proudly told his son of his encounter with the monkeys and asked him to repeat the same if such a situation arose. His son nodded in agreement and set out to the town in order to sell caps. (obviously.. a cap-seller whose son is a cap-seller also sells caps!! :P). He also fell asleep and found all his caps taken when he woke up. He found a bunch of monkeys. He smiled to himself and threw out his cap. A little monkey who was cap deprived, came running down the tree, picked it up, and ran back up. One of the monkeys looked at the dazed cap-seller and said "You think only you have a dad??? "

Moral: Who's your daddy now?? :P
