Sharing Mangos

Harry, our gardener, has no garden of his own, but the compound  we share has two mango trees a peach tree, and another fruit tree I have not yet identified. Although the mango trees are virtually dripping with ripe fruit, George and I have not eaten any. The monkeys in the neighborhood, however, love to drop in for a treat.

Recently, Harry was walking around the corner of our house on his way to do some work in our lower yard, when suddenly  he started scooping up pebbles as he ran and hurling them toward the treetops on the lower slopes of our property.

It never bothered me, sharing our mangos with monkeys, until I realized Harry has a wife and five children.
