"I'm fed up of my stripes," said Tanushree Tiger. "I want spots, like the Laxmi Leopard, for a change."

Madhu Monkey heard her muttering, and smiled. Madhu Monkey was a mischievous soul and loved to play tricks on all the other animals.

"Tanushree Tiger," Madhu Monkey called, swinging down from his tree and landing boldly in front of her. "I know where we can get a broom that'll sweep off your stripes."

Tanushree Tiger was excited. "Where?"

"It'll cost you some money," said Madhu Monkey.

"I have fifty gold pieces," Tanushree Tiger replied. "I saw a robber hiding them under a tree and I dug them up and kept them in my cave."

Taking twenty gold pieces, Madhu Monkey swung off through the trees.

Madhu Monkey used the money to buy an ice-cream shop in the city. He moved out of the forest and spent the rest of his long life selling fifty-four flavours.

Tanushree Tiger waited two days for him to come back, then grew tired of waiting, forgot all about spots instead of stripes and returned quite happily to her old habits. Since twenty gold pieces more or less doesn't make a difference in the forest, that didn't matter either.

So everyone lived happily ever after.
