The theme of the "Monkey and the Cap Seller" story revolves around resourcefulness, quick thinking, and adaptability.
Once upon a time, a cap seller took a nap under a tree after a long walk. Mischievous monkeys, intrigued by the colorful caps, snatched them and climbed the tree. Upon waking, the cap seller was astonished to find his caps in the hands of the monkeys.
Unable to retrieve them, he cleverly threw his own cap on the ground. Mimicking him, the monkeys dropped the stolen caps.

The experience taught him the power of quick thinking and adaptability.
