GREED OF THE MONKEY

When I was in Africa, a delicacy was Monkey. Monkeys are very fast, too smart to get in a trap but there is a unique way to catch them. They take a gourd and tie it to a stake. In the gourd they cut a small hole and drop some nuts inside. The monkeys come to get the nut but when they close their hand to grab the nut their fist is too large to come out of the hole. The natural greed of the monkey causes them to refuse to let go of the nut and the men can walk up and hit them with a stick.
