          As we were walking through the forest I heard something wrestling around in the trees,I looked up and saw a black and white tail. So I made my monkey sound then a black and white capuchin monkey jumped on my head. I screamed with tears of joy!

           My feet stared to hurt after a while and I heard something run past that made a wrestling sound. I jumped a little and and I quickly said is it just me or does things wrestle in the bushes a lot???!!! They didn't respond but all of a sudden, we were surrounded by.......
