Two watches

◇ Two watches

A tourist was walking through a thick forest when he dropped his watch on a rock under a tree.

Unfortunately, a fierce monkey appeared and picked up the watch and threw it away. The watch was used to plan working and vacation time for the monkey in the forest, so the monkey with the watch could become the king of the pack. That is why the monkey, who was lucky enough to get a wristwatch, wanted to get more watches.

Later the monkey picked up more watches. But the timing of the presentation was so different that it was hard to tell which clock to trust. Eventually, the herd was thrown into disarray.

Before long, the monkey had to step down from the king's seat and all the watches he had were taken away by the new king.

But soon the new king was in the same predicament.
