Thereby hangs a tale I speculate, and that does not prove the exsistance of the ape per se, but it does prove the exsistance of curiousity; and perhaps reason, which one could deduce is only limited by the Maker. He who created the ape and its tail (and tales) alone knows the final answer to this end! After all the higher the ape goes the harder he falls!
