When traveling in certain parts of India, you may be lucky enough to get the services of special guides - monkeys. These monkeys wear vests and are always ready to serve you. If you are hungry, you just point to your stomach, and the monkey guide will take you to the nearest restaurant; if you are thirsty, the monkey guide will take you to the bar; if you are tired, you can hug you with both hands. Just touch the back of your head and the monkey guide will take you to the nearest hotel. Don’t be confused if the monkey guides extend their furry hands to you after guiding you – they’re just asking for a tip. After giving you a tip, they will wave to you as if saying goodbye.

Believe it or not, these little guides come from monkey schools in India. In the monkey school, they train for a year to get their "diploma." They're not the only monkey students in the world. In U.S. medical schools, some monkeys are trained to serve as caregivers. After graduation, the monkeys will care for patients and help with household chores.

A three-year-old monkey named Helen has learned to turn lights on and off, operate a video recorder, and open doors and windows (on command from her owner). In the tropical country of Malaysia, where coconut trees tower into the sky, monkeys will climb to the top of the trees and pluck coconuts at the command of their owners. Once the work is completed, the monkey workers will rush to their masters, hoping to receive some wild fruits as a reward.
