ON DEEPER ANALYSIS

"I told him that seeing as I was the alpha, I was used to other monkeys grooming me. I didn't have to do much.
It seemed like a good system--at least until I did have to do something myself."

HE ASKED ME TO TALK ABOUT MY DREAMS

"So I told him my dreams centered primarily on a banana, very ripe and delicious."

"And his reaction?"

"He mostly asked about my relationships with other monkeys."

AND THEN AGAIN, MAYBE THEY WON'T

"It's like I was saying to my psychiatrist the other day, sometimes I feel I am a prisoner of my own inaction."


"What did he say?"

MAYBE THEY'LL WAKE UP ON THEIR OWN?

---asked the other Boss, who had become a Big Boss by dint of just such wishful leadership. "Let's give that a chance to work!"

I THINK YOU SHOULD GO FIRST--

---said the other Boss.

"I went first for the Yoga Instruction.

"That's why you should continue to lead the way."

"I can't hear you, can you speak up?"

SPRINGING INTO ACTION

"You go first," said the one whose ears had been chewed off.

I SUPPOSE WE COULD GIVE THEM A HAND

"Shame about those two, said one of the Bosses.

"Who would have slipped them such powerful Mickeys?" asked the other." They did no wrong."

"I don't get it, either, but I think we should spring into action."

THERE'S THE PROBLEM

Help! Our storyteller and the yoga instructor have been cast into a deep slumber by some mysterious force! Who or what can awaken them so that the Easter Puppy story can finally be put to bed?
