A group of performing monkeys taught in the art of Taekwondo have turned the tables on the man who trained them and taken their long-awaited revenge.
Yes, it seems the martial arts primates knew exactly what they were doing when they went along with the strict training regime concocted by Korean trainer Lo Wung (42), whose plan was to whip the sneaky monkeys into shape so they could entertain the crowds outside a shopping centre in Nshi, in eastern China’s Hubei province.
The furry fiends obviuosly took exception to being kidnapped from their home and being turned into the monkey equivalent of a cute Duracel bunny for the amusement of the hairless ones with their stupid facial expressions.
Luring their clueless trainer into a false sense of security, the monkeys pretended to do their job of amusing the watching crowds before suddenly putting their plans for revenge into action.
With cold-blooded precision they launched themselves at their hapless trainer, bombarding him with vicious strikes. No doubt if they could talk, they would have said, “How’d you like that, you bastard, eh? Bet you regret showing these moves now, eh? Who’s the monkey now, eh, Mr.Trainer Man, Mr. Make Money Of Our Sorry Asses, eh? Take that, you bastard!”
Hu Luang, 32, a bystander who photographed the incident, said: “I saw one punch him in the eye – he grabbed another by the ear and it responded by grabbing his nose. They were leaping and jumping all over the place. It was better than a Bruce Lee film.”
At one point the hapless trainer managed to grab hold of a staff to defend himself, but one monkey was way ahead of him and had already grabbed its own stick, which it used to valiantly beat its trainer around the head.
The trainer only managed to get the monkeys under control after he tangled them all up in the same rope that he used to stop them running off while performing.
Mr Hu said: “He was really furious. He made the monkeys kneel on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs to punish them and make them show remorse for their nasty attack.”
The brave monkeys remained unrepentant, however, despite their punishment. One observer reported that each monkey possessed a smile of satisfaction on their little faces. One even gave the thumbs up, much like Bruce Lee at the end of Enter the Dragon, as if to say, “Job done.”
The monkeys got no supper that night, but they didn’t mind because the only hunger that mattered- the hunger for revenge- had been well and truely sated.
Legendary action movie actor, Steve Seagal is said to be interested in using the monkeys in his next film, a follow up to one of his biggest hits, Out for Justice. The film is tentatively titled, Out for Justice 2: Monkey Business.
Chuck Norris also wants one as a pet. “They’re just so damn cute,” Chuck said when he heard about the story. “It could stroke my beard. I’d like that, I think.”
