      Chapter 1 : Plato & Family

      Let me introduce myself to you, dear readers, I am Plato! Christened absurdly, Poco by my Zookeeper, Max, I have renamed myself, as I am no longer a common chimp, but a wise and elderly monk (ey) with much to share with you.

      Unfortunately, I have found from my many fortunate and unfortunate dealings with human males, females and little children that you tend to condescendingly regard talented animals such as myself, as amusing and irrelevant and yet you all forget one very major fact - you all descended from the apes!

      Yes, my dear friends despite your grand posturing, advanced technology, latest Paris fashions and superior attitudes, you were created second, after us! In Ape philosophy we say - God created apes and then, as an afterthought, God created mankind!

      We have remained as we are - perfect, but humankind has had to evolve to make him what he is today, able to load dishwashers and surf the Internet! Now what does that tell you?

      But I am not writing this book to merely examine the faults of humans (although many will be included, of course) but to instruct you all hopefully, so that you too can have happier, simpler lives like your ape forebears. So please regard me as a wise great, great grandfather who has your best interests at heart.

      I will cover many interesting topics including bananas, I do love bananas! But let us begin with the most crucial of all ape essentials - the family.

      Cynics have said that the answer to a workable family relationship is - Having a happy, caring, interfering family - in another city! In other words, the less you see of them, the more lovable they become. Humans have recognized this, just as us apes found out long ago.

      Being a handsome fellow, I have had many wives; multiple of children and a few mother-in-laws in my time and visiting them occasionally, while living the carefree life of a studious
