It's a Monkey World

This story was used in our cultural classes this week.

"A typhoon temporarily stranded a monkey on an island. While feeling secure and waiting for the waters to recede, the monkey spotted a fish struggling against the current. It seemed quite obvious to the monkey that the fish was in need of assistance.

Being kind and compassionate, the monkey resolved to help the fish. A tree dangled precariously over the very spot where the fish was struggling. At considerable risk to himself, the monkey moved far out on the limb, reached down, and snatched the fish from the threatening waters. Immediately scurrying back to the safety of his shelter, he carefully laid the fish on dry ground.

For a few minutes, the fish demonstrated its gratitude for being rescued by vigorously flapping its tail and excitedly wriggling on the ground. After several minutes, the fish settled into a peaceful and contented state of rest. Joy and satisfaction swelled inside the monkey. He had helped another creature and had done it successfully. "
