It was a cold and silent night. The weather was freezing cold. A group of monkeys was on a tree. They were clinging to its branches.One of the monkeys said, "I wish we could find some fire. It will help us to help warm."


Suddenly they noticed a flock of fireflies. One of the young monkeys thought it was fire. He caught a firefly. He put it under a dry leaf and started blowing at it. Some other monkeys also joined in his efforts. 


In the mean while, a Sparrow came flying to its nest w

hich was on the same tree the monkeys were sitting on. She noticed what they were doing. The Sparrow laughed. She said, "Hey silly Monkeys, that it is a firefly, not real fire. I think all of you should take shelter in a cave. 


The monkey did not listen to the Sparrow. They continued to blow at the poor firefly. 


After sometime, the monkeys became very tired. Now they realize that what the Sparrow had said was correct. They set free the firefly and moved to a nearby cave.
