The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner
47
The
sound
itself
was
pathetic,
and
when
accented
by
his
gestures,
it
was
really
very
touching.
[Sidenote:
DAGO
AND
THE
WEATHER]
At
this
juncture,
a
hard
gust
of
wind
and
rain
dashed
against
the
window
near
his
cage,
whereupon
the
little
monk
turned
away
from
me,
ran
to
the
window
and
looked
out,
and
uttered
a
sound
quite
different
from
the
ones
he
had
just
been
delivering
to
me.
Still
standing
erect,
he
appeared
deeply
interested,
and
stood
for
a
few
moments
at
the
window,
during
which
time
he
would
turn
his
head
towards
me
and
utter
this
sound.
That
the
sound
he
uttered
was
addressed
to
me
could
not
be
doubted,
and
his
manner
in
doing
so
was
very
human-like.
Then
returning
to
me,
still
standing
erect,
he
would
renew
this
plaintive
speech
in
the
most
earnest
manner,
and
continue
it
until
another
gust
would
call
him
to
the
window.
I
observed
that
each
time
he
went
to
the
window
he
uttered
the
same
sound,
as
well
as
I
could
detect
by
ear,
and
would
stand
for
some
time
watching
out
of
the
window,
and
occasionally
turn
his
head
and
repeat
this
sound
to
me.
When
returning
to
me
again,
he
would
resume
his
sad
story,
whatever
it
was.
