Interesting fact is that the Rich and Powerful surround themselves
with statues of lions and claim the lion in their family crest, so it
is that the lion is their cherished symbol. (They hate the monkey --
their real self-- for the same reason.)
And what=92s the symbol for the down and out? The monkeys, of course.
So the statement that the lions eat banana could be understood to mean
that they=92ll be humbled. When the monkey was cornered by the beast, he
said, =93You can eat my banana!=94
