    The document appears to be a worksheet asking students to summarize two folk tales, "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Monkey and the Pea." For the second story, it provides a summary of a king and his counselor witnessing a monkey try to carry too many peas up a tree, dropping them all in the process. The counselor tells the king "When far too greedy you be, remember that monkey and the pea."

    The Monkey and the Pea


    A Tale from India

    The King of Benares was out on a hunting trip with his wise counselor. They stopped to
    feed their horses some peas. Suddenly a young monkey darted down a tree and scooped a large
    handful of peas out of the feeding trough. Halfway back up the tree one pea fell from the
    monkey's furry hands and, in a desperate attempt to catch it, the monkey dropped all the peas he
    was carrying.

    Peas scattered on the ground and the horses ate them. The monkey climbed back up the
    tree empty-handed and sat sadly on a branch. The King and his wise counselor watched this
    episode with amusement. The counselor chuckled, "Great King, when far too greedy you be,
    remember that monkey and the pea."
