I bought it a winter afternoon.
I did so on the recommendation of the former owner, who said that this monkey, as well as its lightness and its appearance, had learned to insult anyone.
When I took it home, we began spending too much time together: we hide behind a tree and screamed profanity at blondes walking alone on the street, played football or watched television in the living room feeling our own monarchy Governors.
But it came to pass that, the next day, when I wanted to teach him to play the piano, he stopped to pronounce common words.
It is as if he had learned to unlearn.
His insults were replaced by the monotony of a single sound: «Www».
I sat down in front of him.
I looked at him in the eyes.
I asked him why it happened and said to me:
—Wwww. —What? -I insisted. —Wwww.
I took it from the arm.
I did walk through the darkness.
I began to despair I by misunderstanding that caused me this matter or, simply, because the animal did not obey my orders.
-More words, more words — said.
He would not or could not.
Hours passed and it kept a secret.
Perhaps it was a demonstration of power or, perhaps, of rebellion.
He was not moving the lips, it seemed sick.
Then, furious and indignant, I lay in bed, locked him in his room and didn't you drink or eat for three days. —Wwwater! Wwwater, gay!
—He claimed his voice of the enslaved King.
