A wet leaf fell on her shoulder making her jump in fear. Startled, she shifted from her hiding place behind the bush.
She looked up. A grey monkey returned her gaze, then let out something that sounded like a hysterical laugh of a madman. The animal pulled on another leaf, then threw it in her direction but this time around, it missed.

In fact, they were vicious flesh-eaters that sometimes liked to snack on fruits. She shivered. It was relatively safe to insult one monkey, they usually wouldn't attack all alone. But five, five were definitely deadly.
