Once there was a clever boy who had a good head on his shoulders. He had a "nest egg" saved up, but one day he decided to spend it all on a monkey. His friends told him he was "behind the eight ball," but he wouldn't listen.
The monkey proved to be problematic and the boy got caught up in some "monkey business" when the monkey stole his neighbor's wallet. The boy was "up a tree" and didn't know what to do.
"A little bird told me" that the only way out was to take the monkey to the animal trainer. The animal trainer put the monkey through an "acid test" of obedience and the monkey passed with flying colors.
The boy realized that he had put his "foot in his mouth" by not listening to his friends and spending all his money on the monkey. He knew he had to "tighten his belt" and start saving again. The animal trainer offered to buy the monkey for a fair price, and the boy had to decide. It was a "take it or leave it" offer.
The boy ultimately decided to sell the monkey and use the money to start saving again. He also realized that his friends were the "apple of his eye," and that he could always count on them "through thick and thin." From then on, he used his "gray matter" to make smart decisions and avoid getting into trouble again.
