The Monkey, The Coconut and The Peanuts
April 9, 2010
How do you catch a Monkey?
1.) Carve a small hole in a Coconut, just large enough for a Monkey to put its hand in.
2.) Fix the Coconut to a tree, and fill that hole with Peanuts.
3.) Said Monkey can insert hand into Coconut to grab at Peanuts.
4.) Fistful of Peanuts is too large for hand to come out of Coconut.
5.) Monkey refuses to let go of Peanuts and hence is trapped.
6.) Prepare clamp to eat Monkey Brain.
Okay, so I was kidding about point six.
You give Peanuts, you get Monkeys.
Those that let go of the Peanuts may not be Monkeys after all.
So if you want to catch something other than Monkeys, you'll have to use a different method.
This little Fable has so many things we can learn from, don't you think? ;)

If you look further, you will find peanut butter..
If you look to the horizon, you will find treasure "Peanut Butter Candy in a Crunchy Shell" :D
Wun be talking about monkeys and peanuts cos, you know jolly well that if one put in 'peanuts' effort, the outcome will just be 'monkey'ing around...haha
Anyway, tot of sharing with you one nice Taiwan Drama ...where the actors/actresses are cool...can learn alot from their acting too.
And the songtrack is very nice - what Pei Fen played on air just prior to the 9pm show that you co-host with her. and it is true -> 我們沒有在一起
