How To Catch A Monkey

Here's how you catch a monkey. You soak a rag in sugar water. Then you stuff the rag into a narrow-necked bottle and tie the bottle to a tree. The monkey comes along, forces his hand into the bottle and grabs the sugar rag. Now the monkey is caught. He can't get his fist out of the bottle while he's holding the rag, and he can't let go. The monkey can't figure out that all he has to do to get away is let go of that rag. You put a leash on the monkey, break the bottle and carry the monkey off. You must learn this.
