A man recently flew into the USA with a monkey under his hat.
The man and his monkey started their journey in Lima, Peru. They then had a stopover in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Here they passed through a security check.
Everything was fine until the plane was in the air. Then the monkey climbed out from under the man’s hat.
Monkey
The monkey sat quietly on the man's head for the rest of the journey. This doesn’t surprise me because small monkeys aren’t bad travel companions.
I once sat next to monkey on a bus in Vietnam. When he climbed out of my neighbour's bag, I thought I was dreaming. But he behaved better than many children I know.
Perhaps that's why the bus driver didn’t charge him for a ticket.
Did this really happen? * Learning activities
Airline security staff may not be looking for kittens or monkeys. But they are aware of the illegal trade in endangered reptiles. So how do you transport three iguanas across the world?
