For some reason, everybody keeps fertilizing new banana trees with the discarded peels and poop, to grow more bananas for the monkeys at the top.

The dutiful pilot monkeys, always willing to sacrifice for the benefit of their masters at the top of the tree, agreed to suspend the Law of the Jungle and collectively put all of their strength into propping the tree up.

A week later, the storm passed and the tree still stood tall in the jungle. Successful, yet fatigued, the weary monkeys looked upward for their delicious reward. Sadly, as the tree straightened back up from their toil, the bunch of ripe yellow bananas offered by the second-fattest monkey king was rescinded and raised back up above their reach.

The exhausted pilot monkeys were left without reward, as the laughter, banana peels, and ripe poo continued to rain down from the lofty perch of the monkey kings at the top of their newly reinforced perch.

Classic! Accurate too...
