The smart monkey gives away just enough of his hoard to keep enough other monkeys alive to warn him about leopards so he can sleep in peace.

Greed, coupled with forethought and restraint doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

@MistyCee The leopards could just as well make a deal with the other monkeys to look the other way and they along with their offspring will be spared.

Or not. Studies show monkeys murder, got to "war", etc. -- pretty much everything humans do. I wouldn't put hoarding beyond the head monkey -- or a very sly one.

Pretty much.

You can't horde for long, the bananas will spoil at some point.

@lasergraph In terms of how this plays out that is a distinction without a difference.
