把五只猴子关在一个笼子里，上头有一串香蕉,实验人员装了一个自动装置，一旦侦测到有猴子要去拿香蕉,马上就会有水喷向笼子,而这五只猴子都会一身湿。
首先有只猴子想去拿香蕉，当然，结果就是每只猴子都淋湿了。每只猴子在几次的尝试后，发现莫不如此。于是猴子们达到一个共识：不要去拿香蕉，以避免被水喷到。
后来实验人员把其中的一只猴子释放，换进去一只新猴子A.
这只猴子A看到香蕉，马上想要去拿。
结果，被其他四只猴子海K了一顿。因为其他四只猴子认为猴子A会害他们被水淋到，所以制止他去拿香蕉。
A尝试了几次，虽被打的满头是包，依然没有拿到香蕉。
当然，这五只猴子就没有被水喷到。
后来实验人员再把一只旧猴子释放，换上另外一只新猴子B。
这猴子B看到香蕉，也是迫不及待要去拿。
当然，一如刚才所发生的情形，其他四只猴子海K了B一顿。特别的是那只A猴子打的特别用力（这叫老兵欺负新兵，或是多年媳妇熬成婆 ）。B猴子试了几次总是被打的很惨，只好作罢。
后来慢慢的一只一只的，所有的旧猴子都换成新猴子了，大家都不敢去动那香蕉。
但是他们都不知道为什么，只知道去动香蕉会被猴扁。
这就是道德的起源。

实验人员继续实验，不过这一次他们改变了喷水装置，一旦侦测到有猴子要去拿香蕉，马上就会有水喷向拿香蕉的猴子，而不是全体。
然后实验人员又把其中的一只猴子释放，换进去一只新猴子C。不同以往的是猴子C特别的孔武有力，猴子C看到香蕉，也马上想要去拿。一如以前所发生的情形，其他四只猴子也想海扁猴子C一顿。不过他们错误估计了C的实力，所以结果是反被C海扁了一顿。于是猴子C拿到了香蕉，同时也被淋了个透湿。C一边打着喷嚏一边吃着香蕉，美味但是也美中不足。A、B、D、E没有香蕉吃却也比较快乐，毕竟没有被淋到嘛。
后来C发现只有拿香蕉的那个才会被淋到，他就要最弱小的A替他去拿。A不想被扁，只好每天拿香蕉然后被水淋。B、D、E越发的快乐了起来，这就叫比上不足，比下有余嘛
于是五只猴子有了三个阶级。
这下子随着道德的起源，阶级也起源了。

天变热了，笼子里的猴子们想冲凉却找不到地方。
终于出现了一位反潮流英雄：猴子HERO。HERO在无意中碰到了香蕉，理所当然的引来了一顿饱打。但在挨打的过程中，猴子们享受到了冲凉的乐趣。等身上的水干了之后，猴子A在无意中碰撞了HERO，使HERO又一次接触到了香蕉，于是，猴子们享受了第二次冲凉，HERO遭到了第二次痛殴。在此之后，只要大家有冲凉的需要，就会有一只猴子X挺身而出，对HERO进行合理冲撞。大家对HERO的态度也有了明显的不同，在平时大家会对HERO异常温和，以弥补在冲凉时为维护规则而不得不对它进行的暴力举动。
一天，在大家冲凉时，饱受折磨的HERO闻到了香蕉的清香，生物本能使它在别的猴子心有旁鹜时将香蕉吃了。而且此后没有了新的香蕉来填补空缺。猴子们陷入了另一个尴尬境地：没有冲凉的水，也没有香蕉，只有HERO。于是，另一个规则形成了：猴子在烦躁的时候会痛打HERO出气，HERO不得反抗。当笼子里的旧猴子被新猴子换掉时，新猴子会在最快的时间内学会殴打HERO。
终于有一天，历尽沧桑的HERO被另一只猴子代替了。猴子们失去了发泄的对象，只能任意选取一个目标进行攻击。从此以后，笼子里的猴子们不吃不喝不冲凉，唯一的举动就是打架。
这就是道德的沦丧。

实验人员对猴子们的争斗不休感到不安。为了重建道德秩序，他们决定继续供应香蕉。一天，正在混战的猴子们发现头顶多了一串香蕉，它们其中的一个(猴子A)不顾身上的剧痛，把香蕉摘了下来。于是久违的甘露出现了，未曾尝过甜头的猴子们先是茫然失措，继而争先恐后的加入冲凉的行列。香蕉反而被遗忘了。当猴子B、C、D、E发现A在享受淋浴的同时还吃着美味的香蕉，嫉妒心使它们暂时团结起来，共同扁了A一顿，将A吃剩的香蕉夺过来，得到香蕉的猴子虽然可以享受美味，但是付出的代价也是巨大的。
实验人员不断放入香蕉，却发现战斗比以前更激烈了。分析清楚原因后，他们用木头做了一个假香蕉扔进了笼子。此时猴子们已经学聪明了，它们知道触摸香蕉可以享受淋浴， 而试图独占香蕉则会遭到痛扁。于是，一个新的现象出现了，当猴子们有冲凉的需要时，会有一只猴子将香蕉拿起来，而当它发现有遭到攻击的可能时，它会马上放下香蕉逃到一边去。这样，猴子们都能冲凉，但是又不至于再象以前那样N败俱伤。
没有猴子发现那个香蕉是假的。（道德的重建）

五只猴子A、B、C、D、E三个阶级快乐地生活了很久。
他们精确的给出了三个阶级的定义，即吃香阶级、拿香蕉阶级和干看着阶级。
可惜猴子A由于长期的水中作业无可避免地引发了它肺部功能的衰竭，一天他在例行的拿香蕉作业中跌倒了就再也没有爬起来。
于是实验人员又送进了一只同样孔武有力的猴F。当然他还是对屋顶的香蕉很有兴趣。
不幸的是他最终以微弱的劣势被以C为首的群猴再次海K。
第二天，又到了拿香蕉的时候。猴子C很无所谓，反正他还要吃香蕉，反正他不会被水淋到。
真正恐慌的是B、D、E三猴。F是那么的健壮，他们这些媳妇是熬不成婆了
他们将面临一个艰难的抉择，谁该去步A的后尘?猴子B、D、E展开了激烈的争论，讨论谁最应该做下一个拿香蕉阶级，猴子F很奇怪也很好奇，什么叫“拿香阶级”呢？猴子B、D、E解释道：所谓“拿香蕉阶级”就是猴子界勇敢者的阶级，需具备一不怕苦二不怕死的大无畏精神方能得此殊荣。恰巧猴子F的虚荣心很强，闻听不禁有些神往，有些跃跃欲试。当然他最终达到了目的（虽然也吃了不少苦头），但却成为了唯一的拿香蕉阶级。
再后来，B、D、E三猴陆续被换出局，换来的猴子个个健壮如F，他们继续大大出手，不过目标不是香蕉，而是那个唯一的拿香蕉阶级。
于是信仰也出现了。

在信仰没有出现前，也可能出现下列结果。
由于A病倒了,A终于被好心的实验人员拉出了苦海。
新来了猴子F。
C觉得有必要维护自己的阶级地位，B、D、E则生怕自己顶了A的缸……在各种复杂心情的作用下，B、D、E在C的带领下爆扁了F一顿，然后强令F做拿香蕉阶级。
F开始不乐意，后来慢慢在B等的劝说下“等待多年的媳妇熬成婆”这一宿命。
慢慢的老资格的B、D、E猴子渐渐被淘汰，C发现自己在体力上不再占有 优势，很难再通过武力让这一游戏规则继续下去，觉得十分苦恼。
这时，一只最有希望升级为吃香蕉阶级（即C的理所当然接班人）也是C谋 臣的H向C进言。于是君臣定计。
H开始依靠自己多懂几种猴语而在其它若干猴面前树立的权威形象，向其它猴鼓吹：“每一只新来笼子的猴子都是有罪的，这种罪责来自血统…….只有摘香蕉的猴子才能被（实验人员）送到天堂。”
事实上，是因为被水冲很容易得肺炎病倒而被实验人员淘汰掉，猴子们不知道，反而以为被淘汰的猴子真的进了天堂。渐渐，猴子都相信了这套理论，并且讲给每一只新猴子听。
然后就这么流传下去越传越神奇。以至于后来摘香蕉阶级的猴子都为了能摘到香蕉而大打出手。……
这些都是C没有想到，H没有看到的，那时他们都已经死了。
然而迷信就这么诞生了。

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
