To the professor's chagrin the monkey showed that ho possessed more intelligence than he was given credit for. Directly the coast was clear the animal hopped on the table and, ignoring the stick, lifted the tube on end, shook it, and the banana tumbled out. The monkey then calmly proceeded to peet and cut it with evident satisfaction.
