The monkey eats the ripe fruit. Not most of it. All of it. Then he wipes his hands on a leaf and goes looking for another tree.
He is not stockpiling. He is not optimizing his fruit-to-effort ratio. He is not waiting for the fruit market to bottom out.
We were taught that saving is virtue and spending is sin, and somewhere we forgot that the point of having anything is to use it. The squirrel monkey does not have this problem. The fig will rot. The squirrel monkey will not.
Eat the fruit. There is more fruit.
