There was a wise minister in his court. He tried to explain to the king. “My Lord,” said the minister, “a king must look after his people. There are enough riches in this kingdom. There is no need for more. The cost of war is very high. attack There is a loss of life, property, peace and happiness. Please think about this.” The king’s greed, however, did not let him listen. One day, he gathered his army to attack. The king and his soldiers walked through the forest, the whole morning. After that, they stopped to take some rest. The horses were also tired, so they were fed peas. One of the forest monkeys was watching the king’s men from a distance. He soldier saw the horses eating peas. He jumped down from the tree to get some of them. He quickly swallowed some peas and filled his mouth and hands with them. Then, he went up the tree and sat on a branch to eat the peas. As he was eating the peas, one pea fell onto the ground. The swallowed monkey got startled and ran down to pick up that pea. But he dropped more peas from his paw on the ground, as he climbed down the tree. Unluckily, he did not find that one pea. He climbed the tree again. He was sad. He said to himself, “I dropped all the peas for that one pea!” startled The king was watching the monkey from a little distance. “I will not be like this silly monkey. He lost a lot to gain a little. I will go back to my country and enjoy what I have,” the king thought to himself. The king and his army went back to their country. They returned to enjoy the peace and happiness of their own land. 40 JSNR_BGM_1010019_Alpine-G3-FoundationMax-English-FY_Text.pdf___46 / 104
