And God said, “I will create another new animal for him. This animal will remind him of his limitations.”

 

And God created MONKEY. And MONKEY would not obey Adam. MONKEY jumped like a spring-loaded toy, rolled chairs over, bit Adam’s hand and ran in the opposite direction. And when MONKEY sat still long enough for Adam to gaze into his eyes, Adam was reminded that he was not the Supreme Being. And Adam started to learn humility.

 

And God was pleased. And Adam was usually more humble. And MONKEY continued to remind all those who met him that he himself was worthy but that they were certainly not...
