Monkeys Two

Today I had to chase down a monkey that had stolen a tennis ball. I felt bad because, he was trying to eat it. When I first tried to "shoo" it, it carried the ball with him, so I had to aggressively get at it because I knew once it was on the run it would drop the ball, which it had thus far cradled in the monkey's arm and paw. It felt like robbing a tennis ball from a monkey.
