karma

Once there in 1987 lived a man named shankar pillai who lived his life selling hats..his was a job which was not perinnial he had to run from post to pillars to sell hats . the best time for his sales was during summer when the scorchung sun would not let anyone get out without a hat .so one such day our shankaran pillai went seling his hats and by noon wen the sun was was at its best emitting heat ray,he settled down under the shadow of a tree opened his pack of lunch and ate ,feeling tired now he carefully placed the hat next to him and slept .
when he woke up he din't find his hats, worried , he looked around the place but found nothing then he looked up he saw all monkeys over there had his hat perfectly placed on their heads , not knowing wat to do he cried at the monkeys he yelled and shouted, the monkeys in return yelled,shouted and cried back .. he threw stones at those monkeys and in return they threw what ever they could fetch. Disgusted shankaran pillai flunked his hat hard on the ground, the very next second the monkeys too flunked thier hat down and pillai happily picked it up and ran away
In 2007 there happened to live another shankaran pillai (the grand son of our old pillai )who lived selling hats and on one fine summmer pillai slept under a tree and when he woke up there was no hat . he quickly looked up he saw monkeys holding the hats .. but this time pillai had all the fun he wanted with the monkey before trying the last trick .. he made funny faces , the monkeys made funnier faces and he imitated the monkeys and monkeys imitated him and finnally he flunked his hat hard on the ground the very next second a baboon descended down and took the hat and walked upto pillai and gave him a tight slap and muttered "u think only u had grandfathers "

gross meaning : dont be repetative

moral: the results of same action would not fetch u the same fruit in a karmic cycle
