Once Upon a Time, there was a fat bat-monkey monster who lived at the bottom of the cookie jar. He was a mean old greedy monster who ate up as many of the cookies has he could, and didn't like to share at all. None of the children (or their parents, for that matter) could understand how cookies could disappear so quickly! Especially chocolate chip cookies!! And so they filled the cookie jar every night, and when they woke up in the morning there were only two or three cookies left! How shocking! The parents suspected that the children must be sneaking to the cookie jar late at night and eating them all. This was a big mistake, of course, but what could they do? Who can imagine that there is a fat bat-monkey monster living at the bottom of your cookie jar!? So they tried punishing the children by making them do lots of pushups and situps, and exercises in the hopes that the little cookie thieves would at least not gain too much weight. When the children complained to their friends, they were laughed at and made fun of. "Ha ha! We get to eat all of our cookies and we don't have to be punished with exercise!" they mocked. Of course, the children were so annoyed at this that they never said another word to their friends about it again.
Eventually the children grew up and happen to all be healthy and strong, and each one became very successful in life, and everyone in the family was happy; especially the parents who were so very proud of their children. And so it all worked out for the best in the end. And to this day their family is strong and healthy. All thanks to the mean old greedy fat bat-monkey monster who none of them ever suspected lived at the bottom of the cookie jar.
Funny how things work out sometimes, isn't it?
