"Has anyone been here recently?"
Tang Mo decided to try communicating with the little chimp.
But the little chimp acted as if it hadn't heard her, just tilting its head up to look at Tang Mo.
After a moment's thought, Tang Mo took a fresh banana from her Space, which she had stored earlier.
She had stocked up on a lot of fruit when she was gathering supplies.
"This is for you."
Tang Mo held out the hand with the banana.
Clutching its fruit, the little chimp hopped over to Tang Mo's side, completely unafraid, and took the banana from her hand.
Then it sniffed the banana, and then it sniffed the fruit in its other hand.
A few seconds later, the banana Tang Mo had offered was lying mercilessly on the ground.
Clearly, the fruit from this tree was far tastier than the banana; it had completely failed to win the little chimp's heart.
'What a waste.'
Not the least bit discouraged, Tang Mo picked the banana up off the ground, dusted it off, and put it back in her Space.
