ANSWER -- FOR MY HINTS DEVELOPMENT QUESTION
BEFRIENDING THE MONKEYS
There was a village in a country. In that village all types of fruits and vegetables used to grow very well. Due to this, everyone in that village were very happy. They made good money.
However, there was one particular plot of land. In that land, a group of monkeys used to often visit and spoil all the crops.
All efforts to chase them failed. So that land was not used for cultivation. Hence that land was available for sale for a very low price. However, nobody was ready to buy it because of the impending monkey menace.
Finally one person bought that place. He ploughed the land and planted some crops in that. After a few days, the group of monkeys came and spoilt the crops.
The farmer did not lose heart. The next day, the brought some eatables to the monkeys. They ate the snacks and left the place quietly. Then the farmer did his work.
From then onwards, he brought some snacks daily to the monkeys. And they will eat that and quietly leave the place. Now the monkeys and farmer became friends. So the farmer's crops were not spoilt anymore.
Suddenly there was drought. The farmer's well dried up. There was no water. He struggled to irrigate his plants or crops. So he went to a far away place and brought water in small cans. Then he irrigated his plants. This continued for a few days.
Unfortunately, one day the farmer fell sick. He could not go to his land to irrigate his plants. He was very upset. Finally, after a few days, he recovered. He managed to go to his land.
There he was wonder struck at what he saw. There he found the monkeys carrying water from the far away place and were irrigating his land. He was very happy.
All the other people considered the monkeys as an enemy and drove them away from the land. But this farmer considered them as friends and gave them snacks to eat daily and befriended them. Hence, now the moneys are doing him a favour.
Moral :
You can even turn your enemies as friends, if you follow an appropriate method.
