Jackfruit & Monkeys

There was a jackfruit tree in my neighbor Mey’s (Oleander 130) backyard. The tree bears few young jackfruits too.





One day, while returning home for lunch, I saw a big monkey eating a raw jackfruit in the roof of my house. It must be from Mey’s jackfruit tree.

In afternoon, we discussed how to save jackfruits from monkeys. Friend Devi suggested covering the young jackfruits with a red color polythene bag, so that monkeys won’t touch them.

That evening I collected few red polythene bags from my house & Mey bring few from her's. We covered almost all Jackfruits.

Other day, I found a half eaten raw jackfruit in the road in front of my house. Later Mey informed me that few jackfruits inside red polythene bag have been disappeared.

Our trick did not work. Monkeys are smart.
