A monkey returned a man’s glasses in exchange for a packet of Frooti.
Monkeys are known to be copycats – a fact that proved beneficial to a man who stole his glasses. In a video shared by IPS officer Rupin Sharma, a man is seen interacting with a monkey to get his glasses back. The monkey was seen sitting on top of an iron net, under which the man was standing. He had glasses but was not ready to return them to the man.
The man tried to take advantage of the monkey’s imitative behavior to get his glasses back. And it worked. It is shown in the video that the man gives a packet of juice to the monkey.
As the monkey reached for the packet of juice, the man refused to let it go. Perhaps realizing that the man needed his glasses in exchange for the juice, the monkey agreed. As soon as the man gave the packet of juice to the monkey, he returned the glass. The glasses got caught in the iron net but the clever animal made sure that the man pushed them down and brought them back.
“Intelligent. give a hand, take a hand (Give with one hand, take with the other),” Mr Sharma captioned the post.

The video has been viewed nearly 14,000 times and has been liked by over 1,300 people. While many laughed at the video, some shared their views on the clip. A Twitter user said that this way of trading with monkeys is a standard practice in many temples like Varanasi, Mathura and Vrindavan where they live in large numbers.

Another person said that the video is definitely from Vrindavan, where the monkeys do not return what they take without some food and drink in return.
It will be behavior for sure, then it will not be able to behave and it will not be useful to behave, it will not be double enabled?????????

Another said the same thing happens in Shimla’s ancient Jakhu temple, which is dedicated to Lord Hanuman.
At Jakhu Mandir (Shimla) on a blast food… take my friend’s glasses, tourist mobile, anytime… and then count planes from LA and from a table for a pacer’s dinner

One user said, “He (monkey) made sure to bring it back even if it got stuck.”
