I recently read an interesting article about the antics of a baboon. Someone living in Bagoda Mountains of Africa observed an old baboon running through a row of corn and literally cleaning every single ear off each of the stalks. The baboon would grab an ear of corn and tuck it under his arm, then another, putting it under the same arm. He must have been pretty stupid because when he would raise his arm to put the second ear of corn under it, the first would always drop to the ground. He would go all the way down the row, however, putting one ear after another under the same arm and dropping the previous one. When he reached the end of the row, he would have only one ear of corn. The baboon would then sit down with a worried expression on his face, wondering where the rest of the corn had gone. This dumb animal was so anxious to have all that he could see that he ended up losing all that he had.<\/p>\n
