Once upon a time there lived a great ape. For years he had watched the tourists come and go in their 4x4s spending their hard earned cash to come and see the wild animals in his jungle. One day he decided he wanted to leave the jungle and make some money for himself, by buying a ranch.
So he saved up all the bananas he could and bought a big piece of land next to the jungle. Of course he could not raise cattle on his ranch – they were too big – so he decided to raise smaller monkeys instead. Very quickly he discovered there was little market for his livestock in a land already teeming with monkeys.
So with a heavy heart he realised ‘I cannot make any money from this - I will sell the ranch’.
But try as he may, whenever he asked anyone if they wanted to buy a monkey ranch, they said they could get by with just a pair of pliers.
