There lived a very naughty monkey named Mogri who loved to
play pranks on other animals. He would drop rotten fruits on other animals and
laugh at their discomfort. Samba the lion didn’t find Mogri’s tricks funny. It
was insulting for the king of the jungle to have rotten fruits flung at him. He
warned Mogri, “Wait! I’ll teach you a lesson soon.” But Mogri was too quick and
managed to escape each time.
One day, Mogri dropped an overripe mango on Samba’s nose. But
unfortunately, the branch on which he was sitting broke and he fell right on
the lion’s back. Samba roared in anger and twisted from side to side to shake
Mogri off. But the monkey clung tightly onto the lion’s back. Samba charged
through the forest, yet Mogri, though terrified, remained on his back.
Finally tired, Samba bent down to drink water from a pond.
Mogri took this opportunity to make good his escape. Ever since, Mogri was too
terrified to play a trick on Samba.
