When the peddler takes a nap under a tree, a troupe of monkeys steal all the caps but his own and put them on. The peddler tries in vain to get the monkeys to return the caps, but they only imitate his actions. Finally, he throws his own cap on the ground in disgust and walks away, As a side note....
