“Growing up, we used to have lots of monkeys running around our backyard,
but one thing that stood out was when my Grandma would be cooking in the
kitchen. One day while rolling flour to make dumplings, she turned her back to
the kitchen area. One or two monkeys rushed through the window, swooped
up the dumplings, and went back through the window.” - Ronald, St. Michael
