大家出去旅游时大都有导游相伴，但你可曾遇到过下文中的这些特殊的导游呢？ If you travel in some area in India, you’ll be lucky enough to be waited on by special guides―monkeys. Dressed in waistcoats(背心), these monkeys are always ready to serve you. Hungry, you only need to point to your own stomach and they’ll lead you to the nearest restaurant. Thirsty, the monkeys will lead you to a bar. Tired, you put both of your hands behind your head and the monkeys will take you to the nearest hotel. Don’t feel puzzled(困惑) when they put out their hairy hands to you after the service is done. They are just asking for a little money as a tip. After that, they wave their hands as if they are saying goodbye to you. Believe it or not, the little guides are from the school for monkeys in India, where they were trained for one year to get their “diplomas”（文凭）. They are not the only monkey students in the world. Some are being trained as nurses in an American medical college. These monkeys are about to look after patients(病人) and help them with housework after school. A three-year-old monkey named Helen has learned to turn on and off the lights, play a recorder and open doors and windows when he is told to. In the tropical(热带的) Malaysia where coconut trees reach high up to the sky, monkeys would climb to the top and pick the coconuts as ordered. Once the job is done, they would rush to their master, hoping to get some wild fruits as a reward. |
