“A magic talking monkey! Incredible!â€
It sighed. “As I’ve said several times now: I’m a chimpanzee.â€
The human was bouncing with excitement. “Who cares? You’re magic!â€
“I care? Chimps are smarter, we don’t have tails… It’s a pretty big difference.†The chimpanzee rolled its eyes.
“Can you grant wishes?â€
“Sure, lots of ‘em. To people who don’t call me a monkey.â€
The human stomped his foot. “So that’s it? I don’t get wishes?â€
“That’s right.â€
“You’re an asshole!â€
“No, I’m a chimpanzee.â€
The human reached for his machete. I can probably get a few wishes out of that paw, he thought.
