The first book in this series for children is about a monkey named Curious George; a peaceful creature living out its life in the African jungle, swinging on vines, eating bananas, and loving life.
I doubt the monkey actually gave himself a name. In fact, I think this is just another case of Western anthropomorphism, which allows lazy WHITE people to pigeonhole things they don't understand. But I digress.
Anyway, THE MAN in the big yellow hood-- uh, I mean, hat-- came along and said, "I will capture this monkey and take him out of his element and put him in a zoo." So he tricked the monkey into putting on his hat, thereby introducing envy to an innocent jungle creature.
And THE MAN took George away and put him on a boat. Hmmm,.. where have I heard this before?
When George arrives in the big city, he is left unsupervised, and gets himself in trouble with a thin WHITE MAN and a fat WHITE MAN who cart him off to prison. Why am I not surprised?
George escapes, but after a series of events he is captured by his friend in the yellow hat, and locked away in a zoo, far from his natural environment. And what did THE MAN in the yellow hat give him for his troubles? A goddamn balloon. Good little token. Smile for the crowds.
Asalaam Aleikum, George.
