The Hat seller

Once upon a time, there was a hat seller who went about selling hats. After walking all over the land he became very tired and decided to rest under a tree. So he put his hats down and went to sleep.

Now what he did not know was that there were some very naughty monkeys on that tree and they came down and wore all his hats!

When the hat seller awoke, he looked up and saw lots of funny, furry faces grinning at him and they were wearing his hats!

He tried lots of ways to get his hats back but the monkeys would not part with them.

Then he had a very clever idea. He remembered that monkeys love imitating people. So he threw down the hat he was wearing and the monkeys promptly threw down theirs.

The hat seller gathered his hats and went on his way.
