Carrots are better than potatoe chips

During our stay in Kuala Lumpur we visited the Batu Caves - an old temple. To reach the temple that is carved in a mountain one has to climb 200 something steps. And along these steps food inspection is conducted to assure visitors are not bringing all kind of unholy food up to the holy place. This fact was not well known to a little chubby 10 years old girl. To enable her self to climb up the stairs she had a bag of potato chips as energy supply. When the inspectors saw this they immediately approached her and tried to get the potato chips. The girl tried everything to protect what was hers. But the pure fear of loosing it all made her forget to take care of both of her hands. So the inspector just had to take the few chips she had in one hand and waiting until that made her to neglect what was in her other hand. The end of the story - the monkey was sitting on the stairs, not irritated at all by the passing by visitors, and eating potato chips as if that would be the most natural thing a monkey does on Saturday afternoon. For me the best part of the story was to see all the laughing faces of the adults standing around the little girl (shamefully including me).
