Long long ago once upon a time
When the world was at its prime
There lived a king who belived
All monkeys should be killed
He recieved a lot of complaints
From too many of his subjects
That monkeys caused too much ruckus
They cried and made a fuss
The King felt bad, he cared about
His subjects a lot no doubt
He consulted his minister and decided
All the monkeys will be murdered
The people were all ecstatic and happy
No one thought the decision was crappy
They could finally get rid of that pest
At night they could comfortably rest
It was announced that for every killed monkey
The hunter will receive from king a bounty
Suddenly even civilians began hunting
In kingdom all monkeys stopped existing
All was good for a next few days
People were pleased now that monkeys were away
But one fine day the bubble bursted
Everyone again started becoming frustrated
The new problem came in the form
Of too many insects and worm
They were in almost all farms and houses
They ruined the grains stored in warehouses
Now the King was worried, he relented
In his empire it seemed as if trouble never ended
In the end he decided to call the intelligent sage
Who's knowledge went way beyond his age
The Sage came and inspected the kingdom
He finally concluded what lead to the doom
He asked the king, where is all the monkey?
To solve this happening crisis they are the key!
The minister now explained what happened
The Sage understood the reason and explained
That lack of monkeys were the reason why
The worm trouble made people cry
Now monkeys were bought and sold
From next kingdom at the price of gold
The king lost too much money and fortune
But at least it solved the big misfortune
Since then it was written books and taught in class
How important every single living thing was
Everything exists for a reason even thorn and pest
Through poem I share this ancient story to the rest
