Watching monkeys on the weekend~~~~~ Got chopped by a monkey
Thread Content
Ugh, it’s annoying just to talk about this. On Saturday, after going to Wallace’s with my wife for dinner, we passed by a square on our way back. There, we suddenly saw a group of people showing off monkeys. It was the first time my wife had seen monkeys, and she was extremely excited! There’s no choice; just stop and watch it with her. That monkey would sometimes ask passersby for things, and other times it would amuse itself with its father; it would slap the person who was trying to amuse it, and then pretend to use a knife to attack that person. It was quite interesting! Just as I was watching intently, a \"monkey-man\" came over and touched me, holding a stack of ten-dollar bills. I immediately realized what was happening and tried to leave, but there was no way to do so! Never mind, it seems like he’s working really hard; let’s give him five dollars. That man looked at me, then at my wife, and said, \"You two, ten bucks!\" Damn, they charge such a high price for just those few basic trick acts! Are you playing tricks on people or on monkeys? I have a soft heart; when I saw they were in tattered clothes and had two children with them, I gave it to them! On the way back, something in my mind kept feeling off! Well, then the monkey took a knife and didn’t use it to attack the person who was teasing it, but rather to attack those people around it who were smiling at it foolishly……

Reply 1# shellmayben: Consider you to be generous and kind-hearted
In China, it’s best not to join in the crowd, unless there are a group of old people around.
That’s great. I’ve always liked those who beg on the streets; whenever I see them, I go and give them a couple of dollars. Thinking about it, I haven’t done many good deeds myself, so giving some money to those who beg can be considered an act of kindness and virtue. Otherwise, it would be regrettable to realize later in life that one hasn’t done anything meaningful at all!

Reply to 6# yuanyongan: I’ll post a message calling on all members of the Beggars’ Gang to come and work at your doorstep, hehe
Elderly people can be tricky; generally, this indicates that there is no danger
I really can’t bear that. I just feel like I haven’t done any good deeds, and I want to do something simple and kind to give myself some psychological comfort
