Monkey Trouble!


Monkey Trouble!



We were staying in an area full of monkey trouble. People were so scared of this troupe of monkey who developed skills to acquire food even from refrigerator. They were smart and intelligent. I used to hear lot many stories of these simians who were known to look after the welfare of their troupe very well. They were always on the look out for some mischief when their basic needs were satisfied. These brave hearts were not afraid of local dogs and they used to slap them whenever they got a chance. Monkeys used to scare the guts out of little children who used to come out unattended by an adult. People of the colony got used to the ways of the troupe but the wanted to get rid of this pestering monkey trouble.
Then, we landed with our Rusty. He was so beautiful and rare breed that even monkeys used to wonder whether he is a dog or not. Rusty was the King of the area where he used to roam around. His smell scared all the snakes away. His presence made these monkeys run away for their life. Whenever Rusty used to spot even a single one he used to trap them on a treetop and would not let them move out. They will just stay put! Then when Rusty will take a break and go for a drink of water, these monkeys will run for their life. So, our family and neighbors were free from this monkey trouble.
We shifted to other side of the colony to a bigger house. The people living on the upper side of the colony were used to peaceful atmosphere, free of monkey trouble. They started missing Rusty and feeling the monkey trouble, which returned back with full force. They thought of a plan. The plan was to fool monkeys. They recorded the barks of Rusty. They played his barking sound in the area for few days. Monkeys were so scared that they kept away from the area for long time.
But they used to think that why Rusty is not appearing?
He is barking but where is Rusty?
They got it!
There was no Rusty!
Only his recorded voice is heard. So these smart Simians were smarter than Humans!
They started their routine in normal ways and never went away from being
BIG MONKEY TROUBLE!

Rusty is Rusty! His absence is always felt!
