Tapescript:

Three Monkeys  (3′24″)

A university professor recently made several experiments with different animals to find out which was the most intelligent. He found that the monkey was more intelligent than other animals.

In one experiment the professor put a monkey in a room where there were several small boxes. Some boxes were inside other boxes. One small box had some food inside of it. The professor wanted to watch the monkey and to find out how long it would take the monkey to find the food. The professor left the room. He waited a few minutes outside the door. Then he kneeled down and put his eye to the keyhole. What did he see? To his surprise he found himself looking directly into the eye of the monkey. The monkey was on the other side of the door, looking at the professor through the keyhole.

In a magazine recently there were several pictures of another clever monkey. This monkey belongs to a woman on Long Island. The woman is an American housewife. She has had the monkey many years. The monkey is a pet. Some people have dogs or cats as pets. This woman has the monkey as a pet. The interesting fact about this monkey is that it can wash dishes. He washes the dishes for the woman everyday. He likes to wash dishes. He will spend hour after hour washing dishes. He never breaks a dish. But sometimes he washes the same dishes over and over. If the woman tries to stop him, he then gets angry. He begins to throw the dishes in all directions. But this does not happen very often.

A third story about a monkey is a very old one. Aesop, a Greek writer, first told the story many years ago. This monkey belonged to an old man. The old man was very fond of the monkey. The monkey was very clever. When birds came to the garden he chased them away. He also helped the old mall in many other ways. The old man often fell asleep during the day in his chair. Then the monkey sat at the old man's side and chased the flies away from the old man's face. One hot afternoon in the summer the old man was asleep in his chair. A fly came and sat on the end of the old man's nose. The monkey chased it away. Soon the fly came back and sat on the old man's nose again. The monkey chased it away. This continued for five or six times. The monkey at last became very angry. He jumped up, ran to the garden, and picked up a large stone. The next time that the fly sat on the old man's nose the monkey hit it hard with the stone. He killed the fly, but unfortunately he also broke the old man's nose.

All of the stories of Aesop always had a moral. What is the moral of this story? The moral is that many people, even people who are our friends sometimes act exactly like this monkey. They do things too quickly, without thinking. Instead of doing good, they hurt us. Such friends are sometimes worse than enemies.
