There will be quite a people that have burnt their fingers in Monkey Business. When I am talking about Monkey Business, literally I mean it. Sashank did not know that this monkey business will ultimately land him in jail. He never thought of this in the wildest of his dreams.  

During one of his trips to his home town, he met this man who was showing some monkey tricks in front of the station. Along with a lot of curious onlookers, he also stood there and enjoyed the show. At the end of the show, the monkey moved around with the Cap on his hand for collecting money from the spectators. While the monkey was doing his trick, Sashank had seen some thing unusual in its behavior.  

Since his train was a couple of hours late that day, he stood his ground for another round of monkey show. After the show was over he talked to the owner of the monkey to find out, where from he is getting these animals and what training he gave to them, etc. etc. Out of curiosity before leaving the place he took the contact details from the ring master and promised him to get in touch with him later. 

During his stay at his native place, he consulted some of the monkey catchers. He asked them to come with him so as these monkeys could be sold in the metros at a lucrative price. The greed of getting good price from selling monkeys in the big cities has lured them. They assured Sashank that they will surely come to the metro with some rare species of monkeys, so as they can fetch more and more price. 

After few months, as promised they arrived at his place. Over a period of time, this business has prospered and Sashank was able to garner a lot of money.  

One day, an idea struck his mind. He suddenly started thinking about pondering lots of money within no time. He interacted with a group of monkey owners whom he knows previously. They finalized a plan to use more than two monkeys for those road side monkey shows. While two monkeys will be busy showing the tricks and the onlookers will be keenly busy on watching them, another monkey can move around and try to pick up the purses and valuables from their pocket. After a lot of planning and deliberation and training to the monkeys, at last they hit the road. 

On a couple of occasions they were immensely successful in pick pocketing lots of people and collected a lot of valuables. This continued for quite some time, till one day they ran out of their luck and was caught, by not only the police but also the animal activists. After investigation, the police came to Sashank’s office to enquire, when every body came to know about his monkey business. He is now cooling his heels along with some of his accomplices in the jail. 

So, beware of this monkey business. Monkey business does not always imply simple monkey business but some thing else, which one need not follow during his life time to make his or her life more meaningful.
