An one armed monkey

Every so often i see or experience something here in thid country that is so typically indian that i can hardly believe my eyes, although this is really India after all. Just the other day i crossed bridge to the connects the two parts of Rishikesh, and smack there right in the middle of the bridge in the middle of Sahdus, mutulated beggar and poorly dressed women with small children all screaming out at me for baksheesh was this one armed monkey - the Rhesus Maque type - . I gave him an orange which he gratefully accepted and after eating it at ease he gazed up at me with a look that seemed to say .....MORE;MORE,MORE......
