Elsie Spicer Eells,
Fairy Tales from Brazil — How the Monkey Escaped Being Eaten
(1917)
“ All the time the man was coming closer and closer to the monkey. Just as he was about to stretch out his hand and seize the monkey, the monkey gave a sudden leap to the tree and hurried away to the tree top. After that every time the man heard the monkey play the guitar he would come near and try to catch him. The monkey grew afraid of the man, so afraid that he gave up playing his guitar at all. ”
