What he does is this: when he finds a fallen cocoa-nut, he begins tearing away the thick husk and fibre with his strong claws; and he knows perfectly well which end to tear it from, namely, from the end where the three eye-holes are, which you call the monkey's face, out of one of which you know, the young cocoa-nut tree would burst forth.

And when he has got to the eye-holes, he hammers through one of them with the point of his heavy claw.

So far, so good: but how is he to get the meat out?
He cannot put his claw in.
He has no proboscis like a butterfly to insert and suck with.

He is as far off from his dinner as the fox was when the stork offered him a feast in a long-necked jar.

What then do you think he does?
He turns himself round, puts in a pair of his hind pincers, which are very slender, and with them scoops the meat out of the cocoa-nut, and so puts his dinner into his mouth with his hind feet.
