Bongie’s Headstand

Posted By on October 7, 2008

Bongie was trying to do a complete headstand, but his feet would hit the canvas, so I went to one knee and he made it. I was told it put a smile on E.K’s Fernandes face. Bongie would  make up his  comedy during each one of his tricks. It seemed that he paid attention to the audience reaction and what the audence liked ….he did more of and he got funnier as the act continued. Of course I played the part of the serious animal trainer. I guess you could say I was a monkey’s straight man.  Bongie was about a year and one half old when I first acquired him. He was easy to train and never let me down.
