Deep inside the old temple forest, three young monkeys were kept apart from one another. They were close friends once, always climbing, playing, and sharing fruits together. But after a sudden misunderstanding among the troop, they were separated by the older monkeys to prevent more chaos. The little ones could only look from a distance, their eyes filled with sadness, hoping someone would help them reunite.
Every day, they cried softly, missing their laughter and the warmth of friendship. One sat on the tall rock, one near the mango tree, and the youngest by the temple wall, alone and confused. None of them could reach each other without angering the others around. It seemed impossible—until one big, strong monkey appeared. He was not just powerful, but wise and calm—the true leader of the troop.
Seeing the sadness in the little ones’ faces, the big monkey paused. He knew that unity, not division, made a troop strong. Slowly, he approached each of them, showing kindness and patience. He didn’t shout or scare them—he simply guided them back together, one by one. When the three monkeys finally met again, their joy lit up the forest. They hugged, squealed, and jumped around happily.
The big leader watched them quietly, his heart full. He knew that helping others find peace was the true strength of leadership. The forest grew calm again, filled with cheerful sounds of friendship restored. From that day, the young monkeys learned that a good leader doesn’t just control others—he listens, understands, and helps bring hearts back together. It was a touching reminder that kindness can heal even the deepest separations.
