Rangy and I were ashore
on th’ Island of Sumatra,
«icin' th' sights and havin'
« good time. We were
walkin' along one of th’ na
tive street« when a Maluy
hove alongside with a mom
key on his shoulder.
! h’ native began Jabber«
in' in pidgin English, tellln’
me how smart th’ monkey
was Then he whispered
somethin’ In th’ monkey’s
ear, and dash my toplights
if that little fellow didn’t
commence to dance nnd sing
In monkey language. Rangy
wiggled hiH whiskers and
grinned.
Well s’r, to make a long
story short, I bought th ’
monkey. Ju»t after we'd
gotten under way again I
stopped to buy some fruit.
All at once a rumpus start
ed back of me. 1 looked
V»und and there was that
(ladbusted monkey smnshin’
a basket of eggs on a high-
toned Chinaman’s head. I
knew that as soon as th’
Chinaman got th' scrambled
egg» out of his eyes there
would lie trouble, bo we
«kipped in a hurry.
Soon's I Aggered we were
«life 1 gave that u monkey a
good dreasin* down in pidg
in English. Near uh a fat
white man wan leanin’ back
on a cane, buyin’ a vase
from a native. I turned to
nee if th’ Chinaman was
after us. Right then th'
monkey got busy, «lipped
up behind th' fat man,
wrapped his tail around th’
cane and yanked it away.
Down went th' fat man, on
top of aome of th* vast» that
were on th' ground. Wow,
what a crash!
Later, from our perch in
a palm-tree where we had
hidden, Rangy and 1 watch
ed th' monkey streakin'
down th' road with th' fat
man. a lot of natives, and
th’ Chinaman, too, after
him. In my next yarn I ’ll
tell you Home more about
th ’ tingin' monkey.
