Motivating Story of a Monkey and Apples

This is a motivating story about a monkey who found a red shiny wooden apple.


The Monkey finds an Apple
Once there was a monkey. He was very possessive in nature. His life was bliss and carefree. One day when the monkey was jumping around, he found an apple. In the morning sun rays it gleamed and the red shine emitted by the apple was irresistible and the monkey ran down from the tree and picked up the apple.


The Monkey Can't Eat the Apple
The monkey was very happy with the beautiful looking apple and he carried the apple up the tree. He sat on a high branch hidden from the view of all the other monkey's and tried to eat the apple. But somehow the apple was too hard to bite. The poor monkey did not know that the apple fell off a basket of toys a merchant who passed through the jungle. The apple was made of wood. How could the monkey eat a wooden apple?


The Monkey Carried the Apple Around the Whole Day
The monkey had found out that the apple he found cannot be eaten. But he lived in hope. He tried to break it by throwing the apple down from the tree top. It didn't break. Then the monkey tried to break it open with a big rock. It didn't work either. Then the monkey tried dipping the apple in water. The apple kept floating in water. But he carried the apple knowing very well it is useless to him and cannot be eaten. But the apple looked too beautiful to be abandoned. So the monkey carried the apple the whole day.


The Monkey Carried the Apple the Next Day Also
The monkey did not eat well the previous day because he was too busy trying to eat the wooden apple. Now he is too hungry and was desperate to eat food. But the apple caught his attention as soon as he woke up. He again picked it up and started his effort with more vigor to eat the apple. The day was lost in trying to break the apple and eat it. Now the monkey was too tired to even walk or climb a tree.


Finally the Monkey Threw Away the Apple
After two days of wasted effort and painful failures the monkey finally decided to throw away the Apple. The Monkey mustered all his effort and threw the useless wooden red shining apple to vent his frustration. The with whatever energy he was left with he climbed the nearest tree and ate the fruits he could reach first ripe and raw because he was dying of hunger. From that day the monkey learned his lesson not to waste his precious time and energy on worthless things.
