Into the jungle - Blogabond

It's taken several days to get here, and we're well off the beaten track. The local tribes all lice in "Longhouses" which house approximately 400 people each.

One of the families had a baby monkey. They were treating it like a child. I made the mistake of asking how big it would grow. The anwer was "It could grow to be the size of a 5 year old child, but this one won't grow that big". "Why not?" I asked innocently.

"Because we'll have eaten it by then".

I say no more.
