What is the difference?
In a town there lived an young man who was searching for job for his food and other expenses. In spite of his continuous efforts he could not get any job. He felt so tired and left his hope. Finally he went to a Zoo and asked the in charge of Zoo to give any job, The zoo in charge told, the monkey in their zoo died recently and if the man covers himself with monkey shaped full costume he would offer him a job. That man should play inside the monkey cage and cheer up children and visitors. He also told that he would offer him food, shelter and some money as salary. Few days went for the young man happily. He used to do many funny things and every one liked him. Visitors also increased considerably. One day he climbed on the tree which was standing in the middle of the cage. He went to the top and hang with one branch which was hanging into the next cage in which a ferocious line was moving around. Initially he was waiving his hands towards lion and the lion jumped to catch his hand. After doing like this he would return to his cage. This became one of his routine works of the day. He thought that he could escape from the lion as he knew how to climb fast on branches. So he felt very happy and continued to trouble the line and induced its anger often. One day when he was about to leave after teasing the lion, suddenly the lion pushed him towards it and he fell down. He did not expect this sort of thing would happen. He started to shout helplessly, ?Please save me ? . He totally forgot that he was acting as a monkey at that time. When the lion came nearby he decided that he would be killed by it. But, surprisingly, he heard in a whispering voice ?Be quiet friend,? ? I too have been appointed like you? What is the difference between you and me ? only costume. After hearing this the young man claimed again and returned to his cage peacefully.
