macaco, macaco!

"macaco, macaco!" (Portuguese for monkey) was the phrase I heard repeated over and over on Tuesday afternoon. On the way home from school we drove down a different road. In the community there was a monkey hanging out in someone's yard. I didn't believe it at first. Mary, my neighbor, kept trying to show me where it was. So we got out to look. Instantly there was a group of kids that crowded around us as we were trying to look at the monkey. A girl then told us to come into the yard to get a closer look. So we followed her, hesitantly, into the yard to get a closer look. He was jumping around, and luckily tied to a rope, from limb to limb. Mary then told me that she had a banana in the car. So we hurried to go get it. One of the boys that walked us into the yard then tossed it up to the monkey and he caught it, quickly peeled it, and started eating it. I managed to take a few pictures to share with you.
