| Description: | PEEPS THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE WORLD (NO. 43) Monkeys around an Indian train In Jaipur in India we see several shots of a group of monkeys on top of and beside a train at a station. The passengers lean out of the windows and give the monkeys titbits. Monkeys surround train. Legend has it --- story of how a monkey, having seen the train come in, ran back to tell the other monkeys and now whenever the train is a comin all the monkeys rush to greet it. Because they like trains? No, because the people feed em and they like food, I guesss...... Very cute shots of monkeys (gibbons??) hanging around the train cars while several white and Indian men look on, hanging out of the windows, some feeding them. Indian men wearing traditional clothes. Monkeys seem to duck under the tracks after getting their share, scatter about. very cute monkeys. | |
