"The monkeys have recently learned to play with phone earphones. A large number of them have become phone addicts, holding their phones and listening to music from morning till night," the veterinarian explained.
"Yesterday, we treated a monkey with a bruised butt. It had been swinging back and forth in a tree when the earphone cord accidentally caught on a branch. It lost its balance and fell from the tree."
"The day before yesterday, a monkey came down with a fever. After listening to music for several hours, its phone grew hot, so it soaked the phone in the pool to cool it down. As a result, it lost its grip and the phone fell into the pool. It jumped into the icy water to retrieve it and only managed to fish it out after a long while. It kept sneezing and got sick from the cold."
"There are also ill-behaved monkeys that fight over phones, scratching each other's faces bloody. Some monkeys have gotten so sleepy while playing with their phones in the trees that they simply fall straight down..."
Zhao Yiyi listened in stunned silence. "So it's all the phones' fault?"
"Yes. This kind of situation may become more common. We've visited every pavilion, and the apes and monkeys with phones don't move at all anymore. They lie around listening to music from morning till night," the veterinarian said. "If this continues, their physical abilities will deteriorate, and they'll become as weak as humans."
Zhao Yiyi frowned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. "Got it. I'll think of a way to encourage the monkeys to exercise. You can get back to work. The New Year is almost here, and Song He will be giving everyone a year-end bonus of around three hundred thousand each."
"Thank you, boss!" The
