| Script: | Do you know how to catch a monkey? In India, they take a gourd, cut a small hole in it, and put some rice inside. Then they tie the gourd down securely and wait for the monkey. Monkeys are greedy and selfish. I guess you could say anybody who is greedy and selfish is a monkey. Anyway, monkeys are so greedy and selfish that the monkey sticks his paw into the gourd to get the rice. He grabs a handful - but then he can't get his hand out of the gourd. His fist won't go through the small hole. And he's so greedy and selfish that he won't let go of the handful of rice. He just waits there with his greedy fist wrapped around the rice until the men come and take him. Don't be greedy and selfish or you may make a "monkey" of yourself. |
