About Monkey Eating Apple
What happens beside the wall
The clip opens with a child holding a bitten red apple beside a low stone wall. A monkey approaches along the wall and reaches for the fruit. The apple holder pulls back, raises an arm and puts a hand on the monkey's head during the struggle. The monkey moves away, and the apple holder looks down at an empty hand before facing the camera with an open-mouthed expression. Other monkeys sit farther along the wall. You take the apple holder's place.
