Toleofoa and the Bananas

Funny story......Elder Toleofoa (from Hawaii) was walking down the street by the park with his companion and a bag full of bananas. They were headed to their apartment when they were accousted by about 30 monkeys who saw the food. Elder Toleofoa decided the only way out was to throw bananas at the monkeys. It worked, but as soon as he threw the first banana and the monkeys figured out what he had.....they all started to chase him. He and his companion were running down the street lobbing bananas over their shoulder to keep the monkeys away. That verifies the stories we've heard about being careful when the monkeys are around and you are walking down the street with food. One of the sisters told us that a monkey grabbed a banana from her hand as she was walking.....I thought that sounded fishy and never really believed her....Now I've heard several people say the monkeys are very aggressive and it's true. They will grab food right from your hand.
