I returned to the car and fetched more possessions. It was then that I noticed a small grey monkey sitting on a tree and eating a banana. “So cute,” I thought to myself, until I realized it was my banana that he was eating! He was looking at me intently as he enjoyed the final mouthful. I was sure he was saying, “Thank you.” “You're welcome,”I replied. (L44)
When and where did the monkey get the banana? My feeling?

Summary
4-5m Until this, the adventure in Africa falls down the curtain. Look back to the topic again. The author use ”adventure” instead of journey. Why? Talk free with you partners. Adventure is more appropriate here. However, due to the pandemic, we cannot go anywhere. So how should we adventure? Look at this paper. We once read a article in the English paper about microadventure. That means we can adventure the region we live, instead of remote areas. Although many of us have dream that” The world is so big and I want to go out and have a look, Marcel Proust said: The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new, landscapes, but in having new eyes.
