[Ref. Fantastic Fiction]. The wisdom of monkeys is proverbially small. They never could remember not to get too near to the hind feet of zebra, nor to throw coconuts at Chewi the leopard, nor to look into the eyes of snakes. Luckily for his little nephews, Uncle Nyani, the only survivor of a family of seven, is always near at hand to tell them how they can live to be as old as he is!
Background: Paul Hamilton Hume White (1910 - 1992) was an Australian missionary, evangelist, radio program host and author. His books are based in Africa and depict African folklore and missionary adventure. Many of White's stories include moral teaching.
