Meet Dexter the Miracle Monkey. I met him this afternoon while New and I were visiting Khao Yoi Cave near Petchaburi, The cave is swarming with monkeys, but this one caught my eye and it's a good thing. I nicknamed him Dexter for no good reason, and as for the "Miracle Monkey" part, well... you'll see.
Dexter REALLY wants to join his friends and family in the ledge above. He could find good hand holds on the textured wall, but here at the wide smooth rim of the ledge, he is just not big enough to reach up. He cried for help, but no one was listening and his arms were getting so weak and....
He fell.
To make matters worse, no one seemed to care. Not even mommie, who just sat there with her back turned to him and her long old tail hanging down and ,... hey! Wait a minute. Mom? Are you suggesting??? Hmmmm....
If I climb up on this little bush like this. And I jump with ALL my might....
Got it! Oh yeah! Oh! Help! Somebody help me here!
Oh... Thanks mom! You're a life saver!
Hence the Miracle Monkey!
More on this great part of my trip tomorrow.
