The Honey pot

Once upon a time, there lived a monkey. One advice given to him among many, by his monkey parents was; "Never depend on anyone. Always do you work on your own, if you want to complete the work." The monkey stuck to that advice with its might. But then one day....
The monkey found a pot of honey. It was very happy as it would serve as an excellent lunch for him, something different than the usual bananas. But the poor fellow didn't know how to get the pot home. The monkey started thinking, 'If I drag it slowly till my tree, I am sure to get it home by evening and then I can have the honey for dinner.' Out leaped a cat from behind the tree. The cat said, "Hello my friend, I see that you are in grave trouble. But do not worry, what are friends for. I have a cart and I will help you take the honey pot to your home." The monkey was thrilled. But the cat said,"There is one thing though. I need to deliver a parcel at the Elephant's house right away. I hope you won't mind if I do that work first and then yours. In the mean time, you go on ahead." I little buzzing sound started in the monkey's head. He can always carry the pot himself. It wasn't much of a trouble. But the cat also looks nice, it won't matter to depend on it just this once. The monkey agreed with the cat and went on ahead to his tree. It waited and waited for the cat to show up. Two days went by, but the cat still did not come to his tree with the honey pot. Finally on the third day, the monkey decided to see what is taking the cat so long. It went to the cat's house to find the cat playing in the yard. When it saw the monkey, the cat said, "I was just about to come with the pot to your place. But I thought I will play for some time first."
"Thank you for your help cat, but I prefer to do my things on my own. I will take the pot home on my own. Whenever you finish playing and you still want to have honey, do drop by my tree."
