Monkey and Parrot In Brazil.

In Brazil monkeys and parrots hav"
interests in common. They not only
roost in the same trees, but work for
mutual benefit. The monkeys cannot
easily pick the big Brazil nut husks
from the trees, so the parrots gnaw
them loose. allowing them to drop, the
fall to the ground splitting them. Then
the monkeys tear the cracked husks
asunder, gather the nuts and divide
them with the parrots. Sometimes,
when the husks fail to split, the mon
keys carry them up to the highest
limbs Of the tree and let them drop
again. Monkey and parrot enjoy their
harvest side by side.
