It was all very
well, he admitted, to swing from branch to branch through the trees. This
toned up the muscles no end, and Sure, it was good clean fun to make a daily raid on the warung at the edge of the Forest. A handful of toffees and a few ricecakes not to mention the odd banana snatched on the way out - made a welcome change of diet Then too, there was always the up and coming crop of young monkeys to discipline. Would they never learn that when their elders were taking their mid-morning nap, they did not want their tails tweaked or their fur searched for vermin No matter how sharp the cuffs and strong the language - next day they were at it again. You couldn't altogether claim it was an empty life, because you didn't really lack entertainment. To climb affectionately onto a tourist's well-dressed shoulder and pee discreetly down his new shirt was always a sure pick-me-up for a fit of the blues. But there was no doubt that the monkeys were missing out on something - and what they lacked was culture. Yes, it was humiliating - but it was true. Of all the forest creatures, they alone hd no community effort. You only had to look at the herons to see the difference. Morning and night these birds would form a graceful ballet in the sky as they flew to and from the rice paddies. And talking of paddies,
even the lowly frogs who had been skilful enough to dodge the probing
beaks of the herons during the day, turned on a boisterous ear-splitting
chorus every evening.

we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between
two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists
of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided
in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The
former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still
considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely
purified ancestors who are considered as divine. Everything Bali Indonesia |
