Max: "That's right. Now, if one of the monkeys would fall from the tree, how many monkeys would there be left?" Anthony: "Monkeys don't fall from trees. Leaves, dead branches, Abacates (1), Açai. Goioba, Maracuja, and Carambola, all these can fall from trees. But monkeys don't. But Cajá-manga and Guabiroba and Jatobá and..." Max: "Ok, Ok, thank you! Let's just say one of the monkeys would come down to get a banana or something. How many monkeys would there be left in the tree?" Anthony: "They ate the last of our bananas yesterday, don't you remember, you said /(%"£..." Max: "Ok, ok, ok, you're right again. So let's assume one of the tree monkeys would come down from the tree to play with you, How many monkeys would there be left in the tree?" Anthony: "No monkey would come down there. Our Rottweilers are sitting in front of that tree." Max: "Very well so, Let's say I would call now the Rotties to come over here to play with us and then... Anthony: "...they wouldn't come if you would call them. They listen only to me." Max: "Ok, ok, ok, ok. Then let's say YOU would call them, and then one of the monkeys could come down, and then, please tell me, how many monkeys are there in that tree?" Anthony: "Look, there are now four of them. They got something to play with!" Max: "Fine. Do you see what they're playing with? Let's see how many monkeys would there be left if two of them would escape with the thing they're playing with? What is that thing?" Anthony: "It's your wallet. Look they play with your credit cards! Now, let's say you had 5 credit cards and the monkeys took away two of them. Tell me, how many cards do you have left, Max? Max?? Maaax?????" Max (running&screaming): "&()/&%$$$£)..."
