One day, the zookeeper notices that Charlie, the smartest ape in the zoo, is reading the Bible. The zookeeper makes a mental note and continues his rounds. The next day, the zookeeper notices that Charlie is now reading Darwin's Origin of Species. The zookeeper asks Charlie, "Why are you reading those two books?" Charlie the Ape replies, "I'm trying to figure out if I'm my brother's keeper or my keeper's brother."
Your cub scouts probably won't get that one.
eta: Okay, I remember one that they will probably get. An animal importer finds a truck driver and says, "I'll give you $100 to take these monkeys to the zoo." The truck driver accepts and loads up the monkeys. The next day, he comes back to the importer and asks for another $100. "Why do you need more money," the importer asks. The truck driver replies, "Well, they had so much fun at the zoo yesterday that I thought I'd take them to a movie today."
