Those of you who have not met “Charlie” here is some info on him.  Charlie and that is the name we gave him, was a baby monkey who made his appearance sometimes last year and leg impressions here in the neighbourhood.

I welcomed him every day and let him explore our garden. His favourite was the jackfruit which he enjoyed. He would also docharlie Yoga on our tank. Enough is not enough to write about him.

I miss Charlie.

@bestwriter, Charlie seems wise and smart monkey. I see a monkey once only. I was a kid that time . I told myself at a young age that I do not like a monkey hehehe. Why? very naughty.

But Charlie left behind indelible memories.

When I was a child, I had dreamed to have a monkey in the backyard. But then, it is not allowed to have as a pet. It is totally prohibited in my country. I just appreciated them seeing inside the cage of a zoo.

That is very cool to be able to see a monkey in your backyard. Sorry that he is only a memory now. Monkeys are very intelligent and they are so fun to watch. Of course, I have only seen them on TV and in the zoo but they are one of my favorite animals. When my children were small there was a squirrel that would come visit them on the porch of their grandma’s house and they would give him scraps of peanut butter sandwiches. They had named him Charlie. He came for about a year and then quit. I think he may have got run over by a car.

I love watching live monkey. I enjoy teasing it. But I have never got any chance to raise one. By nature monkey is naughty, but it could be remedied. Monkey is easy to be trained. It is easy to teach monkey of trick. By the way, I couldn’t get your idea why you miss Charlie. Did it pass away?

Well, for the sake of discussion, are you in favor to put some monkeys in the zoo for business? Or be used for study? Rather than in a cage which they could be raised properly, fed, and monitored for the sake of preserving it. Or it is much better if they will be released to the forest so that they could live as free as the wind. Doesn’t it sound practical and feasible? It’s practical indeed, but their lives are proned to danger. People won’t respect the law. People are unaware of such law.

It would be another issue if it is a monkey business. What I mean here is the idiomatic expressiong: “Monkey Business”?

@moorgoodie  He had the habit of munching away perhaps stuff collected from other properties as I now have an almond sapling thanks to Charlie. I have named that sapling Charlie 😀

I prefer them to be free just as Charlie was. He went away perhaps his parents got him and took him away with them.

Charlie’s yoga poses

It was amazing how Charlie would go up that tank and do his exercise every single day.

It was probably fun to have a monkey for a ‘pet’. Would lead to a lot of interesting and fun stories for a writer.  Was he a lovable monkey?

@Mark Graham  This monkey strayed around our neighbourhood and was seen taking turns to be at every house.  I was not sure how he would react if I went near him and so my friendship was only through my camera  (lol)

Found a new place to enjoy new fruits?

Wow lucky for you to have a monkey hanging around your neighborhood.
