In a place in Thailand, there is a very special festival for monkeys on the last Sunday of November every year. People usually call it Monkey Festival. Because there are many fruit (水果) trees in this place, monkeys often come and go. Many years ago, a businessman (商人) liked monkeys. He put a lot of fruit, juice and so on in front of the door for the monkeys to have. How happy the monkeys were! As time passed, more and more monkeys came, and the neighbors did it the same way. Later, people in the place planed to prepare a big dinner for the monkeys. The food on the dinner table were the monkeys' favorite fruit and vegetables. In all, people gave over 2,000 kilograms of fruit and vegetables to over 1,000 monkeys.
