One day in the jungle a chimpanzee invented some tools to eat his
dinner. One tool was a flat stick sharpened along one edge, this he
used to cut his food. The other was a stick with four smaller sticks
attached to the end each sharpened to a point. He used to spear his
food and place it in his mouth. The chimp was very proud of his
inventions which he called his one point tool and his four point
tool.
One day he awoke to find that the four point tool was missing. The
chimp was distraught. He ran around the jungle trying to find his
precious tool.
First he came upon the lion.
"Lion, Lion!" he cried, "Have you seen my four point tool?"
"No." Replied the lion, "I have not seen your four point tool."
Then the chimp came upon the gorilla.
"Gorilla, Gorilla!" he cried, "Have you seen my four point tool?"
"No." Replied the gorilla, "I have not seen your four point tool."
Then the chimp came upon the jaguar.
"Jaguar, Jaguar!" he cried, "Have you seen my four point tool?"
"Yup!" replied the jaguar, "I've seen your four point tool."
"Well where is it?" inquired the chimp.
"I ate it." Said the jaguar, smugly.
"Why would you do that?" Cried the chimp.
"Because," replied the big cat, "I'm a four point tool eater jaguar!"
