This morning i was spending time with Jesus when I kept seeing the coconut tree out by our house moving around. Excitedly I though it was a monkey or a scarlet macaw so I went over to have a look... Well I couldn't see anything so I went back into the office, but then I heard it again. Only it sounded like hacking... Now for your information I live on the third floor of this villa and our trees are just barely above our house (they are really high!!!). I thought the only thing that could get into this tree would be a chipmunk, monkey, or bees.
I could not concentrate because the noise kept getting louder. I went back over to have another look and I saw a huge knife sticking out of the tree and then I saw this little Indian man peeking out of the tree three stories up! He was harvesting coconuts. I said hello and I guess they were doing it illegally because when he saw me he quickly shimmied down this enormose tree and him and his buddies carried their loot away quickly! I sat there stunned that this man not even 100 LB had climbed all that way up and then before my eyes just slid down the tree like you might see in a movie. It never ceases to amaze me the things I see here!
Just wanted to share that with you!
