Some people were steaming peas under a tree in order to make a meal for their horses. Up in the branches sat a monkey, 36 what they were doing.
"Aha" thought the monkey. “I spot my 37 !” So when the men had finished steaming the peas and 38 for a moment to look after the horses, 39 ,the monkey let himself down from the tree. He snatched (抓) the peas and filled his 40 and both hands as full as they could 41 . Then he climbed up the tree and sat there, eating happily.
Suddenly one pea fell.
"Oh dear! Oh my pea!" cried the monkey. The other peas 42 to drop out of his mouth. He 43 his hands in despair(绝望地), and the peas fell out of his hands too, but he took no 44 . All he thought of was that one pea was gone,__45__ he climbed down the trunk to hunt for his lost pea on the ground. At this time, the men came back. When they saw a monkey 46 with their pots, they all 47 their arms and shouted, "Shoo! Shoo!" Then they picked up stones and began to 48 the monkey with them. The monkey was so 49 that he gave one jump to the nearest 50 , and swung himself up to the top of the tree.
"After all," said he to himself, “it was 51 one pea.” But he ought to have thought of that 52 ,for now all the other peas had gone too.
That day the monkey had to content himself with the 53 of boiled peas for dinner, and I hope the 54 taught him not to be so 55 in future.

Dogs have an understanding of fair play and become angry if they feel that another dog is getting a better deal, a new study has found.
The study looked at how dogs react when a companion is rewarded for the same trick in an unequal way. Friederike Range, a famous researcher, and her colleagues did a series of experiments with dogs who knew how to respond to the command “give the paw”. The dogs were normally happy to repeatedly give the paw, whether they got a reward or not.
But that changed if they saw that another dog was being rewarded with a piece of food, while they received nothing. The dogs hesitated significantly longer when obeying the command to give the paw. Eventually, the unrewarded dogs stopped cooperating.
Researchers always assumed that only humans pay close attention to unfairness. That changed in 2003 when Frans De Waal, a professor of psychology, and a colleague named Sarah Brosnan did a survey on monkeys. Monkeys had to hand a small rock to researchers to get a piece of cucumber(黄瓜) in return. However, the monkeys would suddenly become angry when receiving the piece of cucumber if they saw another monkey receive a more delicious reward, such as a grape, for doing the same job. The monkey that got the cucumber would eventually throw away the food and the rock, and would later just stop performing.
In that experiment, the monkeys considered the fairness of two different types of payment, but when Range and her colleagues did a similar study with their trained dogs, testing to see if dogs would become upset if they only got bread when other dogs received sausage, they found that dogs did not make that kind of subtle (细微的) distinction. As long as the dogs got some kind of food payment, even if it wasn’t the most delicious kind, they would play along.
