28-10-2023 (JAKARTA) A video capturing a remarkable and entertaining encounter in Bali, Indonesia, has taken social media by storm. In the video, a woman can be seen engaging in a clever negotiation with a monkey, using a tantalizing bribe of fruits to retrieve her stolen phone, and the footage has gone viral on various social media platforms.
The amusing incident unfolds at the Uluwatu Temple walkway in Bali, where a monkey has just pilfered the iPhone of a female tourist. Eager to recover her prized possession, the woman initiates her negotiation by offering a bag filled with what appears to be grapes. However, the wily monkey remains uninterested, clutching the device firmly.
Determined to outsmart the cunning creature, the woman reaches into her bag and extracts an apple, which the monkey eagerly snatches. Yet, despite the tantalizing fruit, the monkey still clings to the stolen phone, seemingly unwilling to part with it.
Unwilling to give up, the woman tries one last time, retrieving yet another apple and presenting it to the crafty monkey. This third and final tribute seems to seal the deal. Satisfied with the offering, the monkey finally relinquishes the phone to its rightful owner.
The captivating video, shared on October 11, has garnered an astonishing 25.3 million views on X and received more than 344,000 likes on Instagram. Users across various platforms found the interaction highly entertaining. One user humorously quipped that trading two apples for an Apple phone “seems like a pretty good deal.” Another admirer of the monkey’s shrewd tactics commented, “Gotta respect the hustle.”
