Thinking about the future, he advised the monkeys to leave the Royal Garden immediately. But no monkey was ready to listen to Monkey king. They could quickly obtain fresh and sweet fruits in the royal garden. They told the chief monkey, “You have grown old, and so many nonsense thoughts are coming into your mind due to old age.” We will only visit the royal garden and the sweet fruits, like nectar.
Monkey king said with tears in his eyes, “Fools!” “The pleasure of this greed will cost you dearly.” Having said this, the chief monkey left the royal garden and walked to the forest.

The king immediately issued an order to kill all the monkeys. Following the order, the soldiers caught and killed all the monkeys. At his death, all the monkeys remembered what their Monkey king had said, and they repented for not listening to him.
When Chief Monkey got the news of the deaths of all the monkeys, he was despondent, and the fire of revenge against the king flared up in his mind. Day and night, he kept thinking about how he could take revenge on the king for the deaths of his children.
One day he found a pond in the forest, on the banks of which were the footprints of humans. On the bank of that pond, there were footprints of humans walking to the pond but not coming back; he understood that all the humans who came to this pond were killed, and no one returned. He had an idea of how to solve this problem. Breaking the cord of the lotus, he put one end of it in the pond and started drinking water from the other end.
