Monkey was known for solving everything.

“Just do it like this,” he would say.

Zebra nodded… but never improved.

One day, Giraffe asked,

“Why do they keep coming back to you?”

“Because I help,” Monkey replied.

Giraffe smiled.

“Or because you never let them think?”

Monkey paused.

The next time Zebra came, Monkey asked:

“What do you think?”

Zebra hesitated… then answered.

Not perfect.

But progress.
