The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner
11
I
regarded
the
task
of
learning
the
speech
of
a
monkey
as
very
much
the
same
as
learning
that
of
some
strange
race
of
mankind,
more
difficult
in
the
degree
of
its
inferiority,
but
less
in
volume.
Year
by
year,
as
new
ideas
were
revealed
to
me,
new
barriers
arose,
and
I
began
to
realise
how
great
a
task
was
mine.
One
difficulty
was
to
utter
the
sounds
I
heard,
another
was
to
recall
them,
and
yet
another
to
translate
them.
But
impelled
by
an
inordinate
hope
and
not
discouraged
by
poor
success,
I
continued
my
studies,
as
best
I
could,
in
the
Gardens
of
New
York,
Philadelphia,
Cincinnati
and
Chicago,
and
with
such
specimens
as
I
could
find
from
time
to
time
with
travelling
shows,
hand-organs,
aboard
some
ship,
or
kept
as
a
family
pet.
I
must
acknowledge
my
debt
of
gratitude
to
all
these
little
creatures
who
have
aided
me
in
the
study
of
their
native
tongue.
