Question

C

      Monkeys are clever and lovely,but they are naughty and greedy as well. Whenever they find delicious food,they will eat enough. What’s more,they will take it when they leave. They suffer a lot because of this. But they never change this way.

      In India,people use monkeys’ greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.

      ◆Make a hole in a big pumpkin. The hole must be just right—not too big or too small.

      ◆Put some jujubes in the hole.

      ◆Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in the tree.

      ◆Hide yourself and watch the monkeys.

      As soon as you leave,the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin,they don't know what's in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes,it will clench some of them in its hand. As a result,it isn’t able to take its fist out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin to its life. It will run with the pumpkin,clenching its fist more tightly. In the end,it is caught helplessly.
