A clever monkey pushed the glass door and came into a jewelry shop in eastern India. The monkey sat on a chair and saw inside the shop. Suddenly, it took the cash from the drawer and ran out. The shop owner tried to offer the monkey a banana to exchange for the money but the monkey rejected the offer. The monkey perhaps knew he could buy more banana with the money. Now they had to be careful as the monkey could return.
