When I woke up this morning and opened my curtain, there was a monkey sitting on my window sill looking inside my room! It was quite the surprise! He watched me for a minute, then jumped down to go play with two other monkeys that were wrestling in the grass.
I kept watching them for several minutes, even though I was supposed to be on my way to class. There was about 5 monkeys total just playing and having fun right outside my window! It was a great thing to wake up to.
A few hours later, we went outside to work in groups for our class. We had to do a drama about our experience in South Africa so far. We decided to do the skit outside because it was such a nice day. Part of the skit was about the monkeys and how they go into our classroom during class. While the skit was still going on, two girls suddenly noticed some monkeys sneaking into our classroom right at that very moment! It was so funny!
Some of the boys chased the monkeys out and we went back to the skit. When it was over and the teacher started talking again, my friend noticed that the door to her chalet was wide open, and there were some monkeys lurking around it. She started walking over there to close the door when we heard glass breaking inside the chalet!
Several people rushed down there to get the monkey out immediately. It took them a few minutes to get him out because he felt trapped and started to panic. After they got him out, they found that he had broken a glass container that had tea bags and sugar in it, but that was all the damage. It definitely made for an interesting class time!
