The main character is surely the foolish friend. But there could be a variety of other characters. There might be a group of friends who are constantly exasperated by the foolish friend's antics. There could be an older, more experienced character like a mentor or an elder in the community who tries to offer advice to the foolish friend but is often ignored. There may also be characters that are part of the situations that the foolish friend gets into. For instance, if the foolish friend has a habit of getting into financial trouble, there could be loan sharks or creditors in the story. And of course, there could be bystanders who observe the foolish friend's actions and have different reactions, some pitying, some laughing, and some trying to help.
I don't know for sure since I haven't read it. But likely there is the foolish friend, and probably another friend or friends who are in some way connected to the foolish one. There might also be some other characters like people they meet during their adventures or misadventures.
Once, my friend Tom thought he could jump over a big puddle easily. He ran towards it full of confidence. But as he jumped, he slipped and landed right in the middle of the puddle. His clothes were all muddy and he looked so silly. We couldn't stop laughing.
As I don't know the particular 'the foolish woman story', it's hard to say exactly. But likely there is the foolish woman herself. There could also be characters who interact with her, like perhaps a wise old man or woman who tries to guide her, or there could be some characters who take advantage of her foolishness, such as a sly merchant or a dishonest acquaintance.
I'm not sure specifically as there could be many stories with that title. But generally, it might be about a friend who makes unwise decisions and the consequences that follow.
There is surely the foolish king himself. There might also be his advisors, who try to guide him but are often ignored. And perhaps there are some common people in the kingdom who are affected by the king's foolishness.
I'm not sure specifically as the story isn't described here. But generally, there would be the foolish man himself as the main character. There might also be other characters like people who try to help him or those who are affected by his foolish actions.
The most important character is of course the foolish king himself. There may also be his advisers, some of whom are wise but are not listened to by the king.
I'm not sure as I haven't read this specific story. But generally, it might be about a friendship where one friend does some silly or unwise things that drive the plot, like making bad decisions that get them into trouble or causing misunderstandings between them and other characters.
In a foolish friend story, the moment of unexpected consequences can be the funniest. Like when a friend decides to wear two different shoes to be 'fashionable' but gets strange looks from everyone. And then they finally notice and get all flustered. It's the sudden realization and the absurdity of the situation that makes it so funny. This kind of situation usually involves a deviation from normal behavior, which catches both the friend and others off - guard, leading to a lot of laughter.
The main characters are the foolish monkey and the king. Simple as that.
