monkey-business

it was raining and still dark when my train arrived early in the morning. it was chillingly cold. i drank a glass of tea in a tea-stall. then i climbed into a tempo-rikshaw which half an hour later dropped me near the river. i started to walk over the cable bridge crossing the river. a big strong monkey jumped down from a above. i knew that he knew that i had a banana in my pocket and i didn't have a stick to defend myself. the situation was not very good for me. so i decided to use a trick: i made the monkey believe that i had a very long and big stick in my pocket and not a banana. the monkey didn't really believe me, but he let me walk past, watching me doubtfully. on the other side i started to eat the banana in great haste and then i gave the peel to a cow. the cow while chewing gave me a gentil look with her eyes.
