| One morning, I was sitting in the veranda having coffee while reading The newspaper. Suddenly, I heard a group of crows cawing And a few squirrels screeching, and some birds chirping. My neighbour’s dog was barking. I stood and started looking around the garden, noticed a monkey was sitting On our compound wall. The monkey seemed to be wondering Why these creatures were creating Havoc when he was not disturbing Anyone, and not plucking fruits from the trees, though it was tempting. The monkey must have felt that his ancestor was destroying A beautiful garden because the wicked ten-headed king Was harassing the holy mother. His ancestor started spreading Fear among the people who were living There. Then the monkey must have thought these creatures were requiring Proper guidance in treating guests like him. It left our compound, hoping To get a proper welcome from human beings. |
