The Clever Sailor

A sailor lost his way in a terrible storm at sea. His boat was capsized, and he struggled in the rough waters for hours. Finally, he reached an island. Being exhausted, hungry, and thirsty, he looked around for food and water. He saw tall coconut trees but couldn’t climb them. While thinking of a solution, he noticed monkeys sitting on the treetops. He had an idea. Picking up some stones, he threw them at the monkeys. The monkeys, copying his actions, threw coconuts at him in return. The sailor collected the coconuts, drank their water, ate the flesh, and thanked his cleverness.
