No Use For Money

A street entertainer had a monkey show, and one day after making the collection from an audience the monkey held on to a coin and refused to give it to his master. The man first tried to bribe the monkey with some nuts and biscuits, then he dangled a little embroidered jacket before the animal's eyes, but no matter what he did the monkey backed away and would not relinquish the money.  Finally, in a rage, the man started cursing his partner.

"You dumb beast!" he cried. "If you do not care for food or clothing then what do you want the money for?"
