How Four Clever Monkeys outwitted
Hive Of Bees.

Four. monkeys sat under a tree
in an Indian forest. One monkey
was seen to busy himself in smear
ing one of the Others with red clay
earth. When he had succeeded in
entirely covering his companion the
three disappeared, leaving the other
a mass Of clay but for two small
holes, through which peered a pair
of cunning eyes. Then the be-
daubed monkey was seen to climb
to the hollow of tree where there
was a beehive. The bees buzzed
about tile intruder, but all they
could do was to leave their sting in
his cla coat. At last they swarmed
away NJ despair, and the clever
monkey helped himself to the hon.
eycomb. And then the other mon
keys came out of their hiding place
and proceeded to pick off the clay
covering from their brother. This
done they set to work at the honey
comb and finished it to the salts
faction of all four.
