on a mango tree in a jungle , there lived many birds . they were happy in their small nests . before the onset of the rainy season , all the animals of the jungle repaired their homes . the birds also made their homes more secure . many birds brought twigs and leaves and others wove their nests . we should also store some food for our children , chirped one of the birds . and they collected food , until they had enough to see them through the rainy season .  they kept themselves busy preparing for the tough times . soon the rains came . it was followed by thunder and lighting . all the animals and birds stayed in their homes . it continued raining for many days . one day , a monkey went in the rain came into the forest . he sat on a branch , shivering with cold , water dripping from its body . the poor monkey tried his best to get shelter , but in vain . the leaves were not enough to save him from the rains . it is so cold , said the monkey . the birds were watching all this . they felt sorry for the monkey but there was little they could do for him . one of them said , brother , our small nests are not enough to give you shelter .  another bird said , all of us prepared for the rainy season . if you had , you would not be in this situation . how dare you tell me what to do , said the monkey , growling at the bird . the monkey angrily pounced on the birds  nest , tore it and threw it on the ground . the bird and her chicks were helpless . the poor bird thought , fools never value good advice . it is better not to advise them .
