The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner
25
I
have
sometimes
used
artificial
flowers,
and
find,
as
a
rule,
that
they
will
select
a
flower
having
many
green
leaves
about
it.
It
may
be
that
they
associate
this
colour
with
some
green
food
which
they
are
fond
of,
and
consequently
that
they
are
influenced
by
this
in
selecting
other
things.
I
kept
a
cup
for
a
monkey
to
drink
milk
from,
on
the
sides
of
which
were
some
brilliant
flowers
and
green
leaves,
and
she
would
frequently
quit
drinking
the
milk
to
play
with
the
flowers
on
the
cup,
and
seemed
never
able
to
understand
why
she
could
not
get
hold
of
them.
In
one
test
I
had
a
board
about
two
feet
long,
and
laid
a
few
pieces
of
white
and
pink
candies
in
four
places
on
it.
The
monkey
took
the
white
from
each
pile
before
touching
the
pink,
except
in
one
instance
it
took
the
pink
piece
from
one
pile.
I
repeated
this
test
many
times.
In
another
test
I
took
a
white
paper
ball
in
one
hand
and
a
pink
one
in
the
other,
and
held
out
my
hands
to
the
monkey,
who
selected
the
white
one
nearly
every
time,
although
I
changed
hands
with
the
balls
from
time
to
time.
These
experiments
were
mostly
confined
to
the
Cebus
monkeys,
but
a
few
of
them
were
made
with
Macaques.
They
seem
to
be
attracted
generally
by
all
brilliant
colours,
but
when
reduced
to
a
choice
between
two,
such
seems
to
be
their
tastes.
