石の臼(いしのうす)

One night, the allies sneaked into the monkey's house. The chestnut hiding in the hearth burst and burned the monkey's face. The startled monkey was stung by the bee. Trying to escape, the monkey slipped on the cow dung, and finally, the stone mortar fell from the roof and crushed him. The monkey cried and apologized.
