My Intro: Thanks for Reading!

Let it go. One way to catch a monkey is to put a nut in a box with a hole in it big enough for the monkeys hand to go thru and small enough that the monkeys fist won't come out while clutching the nut. The monkey won't let go and then it's doomed to be a captive. Squeezing the nut harder and pulling with all it's might won't work. To be free all the monkey has to do is let go.

I love this analogy. Is it really true?

I've heard variations for catching curious animals. In the Book Where the Red Fern Grows (I read when I was 9) The young boy catches a raccoon by drilling a hole in a log, just big enough to fit the hand in, drove several nails into the hole at angles and dropped a small ball of aluminum foil into the whole. The raccoon grabs foil and wont let go. The end.
