In the jungle, they capture monkeys by cutting a hole in a coconut shell,
chaining it to a tree, and putting a large nut inside.  A monkey who finds the
food reaches in to grab it, then cannot pull the fistfull back out of the small

widens.  The arrogance of the current administration has finally caught up with
them.
