Answer:
Teacher reads out the following poem once or twice.
Students are instructed to complete the summary.
The monkey-show is on:
patient girl on haunches
holds the strings,
a baby in her arms.
Two red monkeys
in red and purple pantaloons
prepare to dance.
Crowd collects,
Naked to the waist,
the Master of Ceremonies'
drums frenzy, cracks whip,
calls the tricks
to earn applause and copper coins.
The circle thickens as the plot thickens,
children laugh, the untouchable women
smooth their hair. A coolie
grins at me, his white teeth
gleam in the sunlight.
Only the monkeys are sad,
and suddenly
the baby begins to cry.
Anticipating time for payment,
the crowd dissolves.
Some, in shame, part
with the smallest coin they have.
The show moves on.
