A few feet above this peg there was a small hole in the wall (what we would call a niche, just a little place like a shelf) . The monkey was very neglected and uncomfortable because nobody looked after hi m .As you know monkeys jump around in trees, so have what we call libe rty. He would have had plenty of chance in his normal state to move around quite freely, but . because the poor wretch was tied like this, he couldn't move aw ay much or go to the toilet as he would normally do. So he had all this filth on the floor around him which made him miserable.One day he was looking up and saw the hole in the wall. He thought, 'Well, it's no good sitting here in t his filth, I'm going to try and get up there.' So he jumped up, but the rope was just too short for him to get into the hole, and he was pulled back down by the peg in the floor. He kept trying, and he jumped and jumped for days and days. H e kept on doing it and one day, because of all the jumping that he had done, he was able to free the little post which had been driven into the floor. He got up. N° de réf. du vendeur 394t
