The document discusses two stories about monkeys and their behavior. The first story is about monkeys worshipping another monkey dressed as a leader, which the moral says makes as little sense as baboons worshipping a dressed up monkey. The second story is about a monkey recognizing its mother in a large flock of sheep, similar to how a devotee can recognize their teacher, as the moral states.
