 Hi.

One evening by the fire Monkey spoke to the animals:

”Consider crosswordpuzzles.

You enjoy doing and trailing the puzzlemakers train of thought and when you are done, you put it away, perhaps, a little more knowledgeable and with a smile on your face.”

Monkey showed up and asked: ”Tell me, this thing you have an grudge over does it have any intrinsic value?”

”None at all.” They replied.
”And your lives, limbs and blood does that have any value for you?”
”Its priceless.” They replied.
”So you´re about to risk something priceless for something of no value?”
The gorillas decided not to fight after all.
