一则本生故事，讲述受托浇灌御花园的猴王，为查看根系深浅竟下令将树木连根拔起再浇水，借此比喻善意若无智慧相佐反致祸害，故事源于一件真实的相似事件。

A Jātaka in which a monkey-king, entrusted with watering a royal garden, orders the trees pulled up to check their roots before watering—an object lesson, drawn from a similar real incident, in how good intentions without wisdom cause harm.

同一本生故事的另一版本，猴群受托连续七日浇灌花园，讲述背景换成南山（Dakkhiṇāgiri）一名男孩，而非憍萨罗国。

A variant of the same Jātaka in which the monkeys are asked to water the garden for seven days, told in connection with a similar incident involving a boy in Dakkhiṇāgiri rather than Kosala.
