I believe in hlding nt traditins because they helped ur family flurish(兴旺) in a new cuntry.But this cncept is mre cncretely expressed this way:I believe in feeding mnkeys n my birthday—smething I’ve dne withut fail fr 35 years.
In the Burmese jungle,mnkeys are as cmmn as pigens.But in America,feeding mnkeys means vilating the rules.
As a kid,I thught that was cl.I learnt English thrugh watching televisin shws and expected that I was the chsen warrir(勇士) sent t defend my family.Dad and I wuld g t the z early in the mrning,just the tw f us.When the cast was clear,I wuld thrw my peanuts t the mnkeys.
I never had t explain myself until my 18th birthday.It was the first year I didn’t g with my father.I went with my friends and arrived 10 minutes after the z gates clsed.“Please,”I begged the zkeeper,“I feed mnkeys fr my family,nt fr me.Can’t yu make an exceptin?” “G find a pet stre,”she said.
If nly it were s easy.That time,I gt lucky.I fund ut that a high schl classmate trained the mnkeys fr the mvie Out f Africa,s he allwed me t feed his mnkeys.Once a man with a pet mnkey suspected that my stry was a ply—that I was an animal rights activist ut t liberate his mnkey.Anther time,a z tld me that utsiders culd nt feed the mnkeys withut vilating the zkeepers’ cllective bargaining agreement.Once in a pet stre,I managed t feed a marmset(狨猴) being kept in a birdcage.Anther time,I was asked t wear a special suit t feed a labratry mnkey.
It’s rarely easy and,yet,smehw I’ve fund a way t feed a mnkey every year since I was brn.
