London Zoo(jokes)

A Nigerian youngster who was visiting the United
Kingdom for the first time was taken to the London zoo
for sightseeing. On getting to the section where
monkeys are kept, he was amazed to see other tourists
giving out plenty of money to the monkeys that were
hopping around doing acrobatics. The more the
acrobatics, the more the tourists enjoyed the show and
the more the money (hard currency) the monkeys got.
This young man suddenly had an idea and when he got
back to Nigeria, he started learning all kinds of
acrobatics. He visited his medicine man and asked for a
portion that will transform him into a monkey.
During his next visit to London, he went into the zoo
and took the portion and was transformed into a
monkey. He joined the other monkeys and started his
own type of modern, systematic and attractive
acrobatics. He soon caught the attention of all the
tourists who wasted no time in showering him with
plenty of pounds sterling. He was now making more
money than the real monkeys.
The king of the monkeys didn't like this and challenged
the new monkey to an acrobatic duel. The contest was
tough and very keen but the new monkey won. The
king monkey had to go on exile in shame but before he
left he set a trap for the intruding monkey who now
became the new king.
The next day, monkey business started as usual, with
money coming in from the tourists. There was this
particular tourist who really enjoyed the show that he
threw a lot of money into the cage. The new king
pocketed his money but to his amazement all the other
monkeys threw their earnings into the adjacent cage.
The new king could not comprehend this and would
not allow all that money to go away like that; so he
jumped into the adjacent cage to pick up the money. It
was only when he got there that he realized it was a
lion's cage.
The lion looked at him, looked at the money and
roared and started toward the monkey who was now
sweating, shaking and foaming in the mouth.
Half way, the lion suddenly stopped, looked at the
monkey again and said:
"Oh boy, if no bi say we all na Naija, I for show you."
