Friend (11) – Monkey / 朋友（11）- 猴子

在驶往贝雅士蓄水池的小路上,发现一头猴子蹲在路旁,外表逗趣可爱长相令人发笑。灰色的毛发与傻呼呼的样子，在看守来往的车子。

In Pierce Reservoir along Old Upper Thomson Road, saw a monkey kneeing along the roadside. His cute appearance looks ridiculous and his gray hair and insensibly manifestation guards at every car that passes by.

车子慢慢移近，它站起了身体，对车子有所期待。我没把车窗调下，以防它来个七十二变。它等了一会儿见车里头没动静，又坐回原位。我拿起相机拍它的样子，但它却不理不睬，还故意把脸转向另一边。它似乎提醒我，要拍就要有酬劳。

He stood up to the body, whenever a vehicle move closer to him as if there is something to look forward from the car.  I decline to unwind the car windows, just in case he stuns his“Seventy Two Transformation”.  While he waited for awhile and see no movement in the car, he sank back in situ.  As I direct my camera towards his direction, he ignore my interest on him and turn his face away from me.  He seems to be reminding me for a reward if I demand a snapshot from him.

有关部门提醒公众不要餵食野生动物，这不是没有理由。

Reminders have been put up constantly by relevant authorities to the public not to feed wild animals without invalid reasons.

自然界里的一草一木，自有它求存的一套本领。每一各体总有他的强项与天分。这套本领舍弃了而去依赖外界的施舍，到头来只剩下外界的怜憫眼光与那副博人同情的可怜相。

Flora and Fauna in their natural habitat has its own sets of survival skills.  Each bodied its own strength and flair.  Once the skills are discarded, it relies on external aid to subsist.  End of the day, what is remained and reminded is the pathetic vision asking for mercy from our human eyes.

幸亏猴子还算可爱，再来几只也无伤大雅。

Fortunately, monkeys are delightfully adorable, a few more to come is harmless and undisruptive at least to our very own nature that is loosing out in no time soon.

**There is a belief that the Monkey God has capabilities to do Seventy Two stuns with different transformation.
