away, and take the grain from her hand eyeing her intently, all the 
while. Occasionally one would stealthily approach from the throng 
and make a sudden grab for the grain, bounding instantly back amid 
the crowd, but this was rarely attempted. One individual who 
would not approach near enough to obtain any food, consoled him- 
self by sitting down a short distance away, and taking his feet in his 
hands rocked himself backward and forward and up and down, and 
evidently enjoyed himself hugely. Some grain was thrown into their 
midst, and they immediately became busy picking it up, but very 
quietly and without any squabbling or fighting about it. After we 
had disposed of most of the grain we had brought, the rest was 
scattered upon the ground, and all the monkeys gathered about it in 
a solemn circle, with their backs rounded and heads sunk between 
their shoulders, like so many little old men, and we left them busily 
employed. It was an extraordinary sight, this great gathering of 
wild monkeys, perfectly behaved, no attempt being made to bite, or, 
to their visitors, exceeding in any way the bounds of polite society. 
Hanuman which means ‘long jaw,’ was a member of the Monkey 
Kingdom of Southern India, who aided Rama in his conquest of 
Ceylon by forming a bridge of rocks opposite Manar.
