"Plonk is coming! Plonk is coming!"

A fully ripe fruit dropper down from a tree into a deep pool of water with a loud sound, "Plonk!"

A monkey heard the sound. Astonished, it took to its heels at once. As it ran, it shouted, "Plonk is coming! Plonk is coming!"

When animals in the surronding heard the monkey's cries, they also followed the monkey and ran quickly, without finding out the truth of the matter. As they ran, they also shouted, "Plonk is coming! Plonk is coming!"

When the long, king of the animals, saw the animals run past, it was also startled and fled for its dear life.

As this time, a passer-by who saw the animals fleeing for their lives asked them, "Why are all of you fleeing?"

The panic-stricken animals said, "Plonk is coming! Plonk is coming! You should also flee quickly!"

The passer-by asked, "What is plonk?"

At this time, the animals looked at one another. None of them knew what "Plonk" was, so the passer-by said, "Bring me to see what 'plonk' is exactly. Let's go!"

The monkey that detected "Plonk" brought them to the pond to take a look. They did not know whether to laugh or cry, as they found out that "Plonk" was merely a fruit, not some dreadful thing. They had frightened themselves for nothing!

That is what often happens in the world - people echo others' words without thinking and spread erroneout messages that mislead others. Therefore, we must know how to look at things wisely.
