I'm not sure specifically what 'Cap deage' means. It could be a very specific term, a misspelling, or something relatively unknown. It might be a proper name, a local term in a certain area or a very niche concept.
The cap man and monkey story is an interesting one. There was this cap man who was traveling around selling his caps. He reached a place near a forest and decided to take a rest under a tree. While he was sleeping, the monkeys in the tree noticed the caps. They climbed down, grabbed the caps, and went back up the tree. When the man woke up, he was confused at first, then saw the monkeys with his caps. He was worried as those caps were his livelihood. But then he remembered that monkeys often mimic human actions. So he took off his own cap and tossed it. The monkeys, being the imitators they are, did the same with the caps they had taken, and the cap man got his caps back.
One common theme could be loyalty. Given the nature of the character, stories might explore his loyalty to his friends or family. Another could be adventure, as he might be involved in exciting escapades.
