The Monkey Justice

Once upon a time, in a far away land, an alley cat and a fat cat were fighting over a banana.
The gray and white alley cat hung on to the banana with all of his strength. He was a tough and battle scarred cat that had beaten off many mangy felines in the ghetto alleys. Suddenly a big, big pure white cat, wearing a collar studded with sparkling jewels, stepped out from behind the over filled garbage can with its tantalizing odors.
"That is a fine banana, alley cat, but I think that I should take it and eat it all by myself." He made a grab for the banana, but the alley cat was too fast for him.
The fat cat lunged again, jewels sparkling in the clean air. This time he caught the alley cat by the tail.
The alley cat growled and tried to pull away, but he was no match for the pure white cat with the sparkles around his neck.
The alley cat stubbornly held onto the banana, even though he was at great risk of losing his tail.
A brown spider monkey walked up to the spitting, hissing felines. Using his long tail to support him, the spider monkey asked the felines what they were fighting about.
The two felines stopped their yowling chatter long enough to survey the spider monkey.
“Uh! Spider monkey, alley cat screeched, I found a banana, it’s mine and I am not sharing.” Holding the over ripe plump banana he tried to make a run for it.
“Why you selfish no good ruffian, I ought to pull your tail right off your rump,” snarled the big fat, white cat with the sparkling jewels around his neck.
“Hey! There felines, stop your squabbling. I can’t take it anymore. I have a plan.”
The alley cat and the fat cat with the flashing jewels around his neck were happy that the spider monkey had a solution to their problem.



“Give me the banana, scrappy alley cat.”
‘Oh! Alright! The alley cat gave up his prized banana reluctantly-“and let go of my tail, he snapped peevishly.
Fat cat let go.
“This is the plan felines.”
The slender spider monkey pulled out a digital scale. Grasping the banana in his black paws, he split it in half. And put the two pieces on the scale.
Hey! Alley cat, mumbled. One piece is bigger than the other.”
“Not fair” shouted fat cat with the flashing jewels around his neck.
The spider monkey took a bite out of the larger piece, watching the two felines, gauging their reactions. He, then reweighed the pieces. However one piece was always larger. The felines watched the spider monkey with growing suspicion.
But the spider monkey, bite by bite, ate the banana in front of the felines.

Moral!
“Brains, you scrappy felines, if you had any, you would never have fallen into my trap”
