Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a mischievous monkey named Bandar. Bandar loved to swing on tree branches and play pranks on the other animals. One day, he saw a royal procession passing by. It was the King of the Jungle, with his golden crown and majestic robe.
Curious, Bandar decided to follow the King. He wanted to see what it felt like to be royal. As he reached the palace, he saw guards standing tall and the King sitting on his throne. Bandar climbed up a nearby tree to get a closer look.
Suddenly, Bandar noticed the crown had fallen off the King's head and landed near his tree. Mischievously, he jumped down, took the crown, and wore it on his own head. All the animals gasped in surprise.
Feeling proud, Bandar imitated the King's actions and jumbled up his words, trying to rule like a King. But the animals could see through his act and burst into laughter. Bandar realized that being a King was not just about wearing a crown.
The King approached Bandar with a smile on his face. He gently took the crown back and placed it on his own head. Bandar felt a little sad, but also relieved. He realized that every creature has its own special role in the world, and his role was to bring joy and laughter to the forest.
From that day forward, Bandar continued to play pranks and enjoy his mischievous ways. The King appreciated his humor and granted him the title 'The Royal Jester.' Bandar was happy, knowing that he had a place in the forest and could make everyone smile.
Remember, being yourself and bringing joy to others is more important than pretending to be someone else. The forest became an even happier place with Bandar's playful spirit. And the King became more beloved, knowing that even a mischievous monkey could bring happiness to his kingdom.
