The short story The Monkey’s Paw by William Wymark Jacobs has many instances of characters not giving their full attention when somebody was attempting to speak to them.

Mrs. White did not listen to Mr. White when he tried to explain why they should not wish for their son to be alive. Mrs. White rushed down the stairs ignoring Mr. White’s warnings of opening the door to let their son into the home. Listening more to people other than someone’s self is an ideal that has been lost in society.

The chimpanzee inserted the piece of grass into the hole it made on a termite mound. David Greybeard did the process a couple of times until he got full then Jane Goodall went to the mount to figure out what the chimpanzee was doing. Over a couple of days, David and other chimpanzees were observed using a piece of a twig to get termites out of the mount. The chimpanzees removed the leaf and straighten the twig before inserted it into the mount. When chimpanzees find a hard dirt mound, they use their foot to penetrate the piece of wood, so they can reach the bottom of the mount.
