Every day he would sneak into the temple and steal food from the people who were there worshipping. The people got angry at Monkey for stealing their food, but he just wouldn't stop.

They tried to scare him away, but nothing worked. Finally, they decided to ask the temple priest for help. The priest thought long and hard about how to solve the problem of Monkey stealing food from the temple. Then he had an idea: instead of scaring him away, why not give him something else to eat?

The priest thought long and hard about how to solve the problem of Monkey stealing food from the temple. Then he had an idea: instead of scaring him away, why not give him something else to eat?

So the priest set up a special table full of fruits and nuts in front of the temple every morning. When Monkey showed up, the priest would give him some food from the table instead of letting him steal it from worshippers. At first, it seemed like this plan wasn't working either - Monkey still stole food from people!

But then something amazing happened: as time went on, Monkey stopped stealing altogether! He quickly learned that if he waited for his breakfast at the special table outside of the temple each morning, he would always get something tasty to eat! The people were so relieved that their problem was solved without anyone getting hurt or angry.

And Monkey was very happy too - now he had a steady supply of delicious fruits and nuts every day! From then on, whenever anyone visited the Hindu temple they would see Monkey sitting peacefully at his table outside, waiting patiently for his breakfast each morning. And everyone knew that it was all thanks to a little bit of kindness and understanding from both sides!
