Return Json

Let's make sure when we call monkey, we can see all the bananas she has. Change the code below to use as_json to include bananas in the JSON render. Hint: We're only including one thing, so this does not need an array!

monkeys_controller.rb 
class MonkeysController < ApplicationController
  before_filter :find_monkey

  def show
    render json: @monkey
  end

private
  def find_monkey
    @monkey = Monkey.find(params[:id])
  end
end
