I know that King Louie told the world that he and only he was the king

I know that King Louie told the world that he and only he was the king of swingers, but I cannot help but disagree. King Louie, I hasten to add, has never seen the incredible swinging abilities of Nigel the orangutan!

I remember the day I saw Nigel and his troop of swingers for the first time. It was a starlit night, and I was on a blind date with the lady who, in later years would become my wife. The rain forest canopy was quiet when suddenly, with a burst of noise, Nigel came whooping his way onto the scene.

With powerful movements he swung his way down to our bamboo table. He grabbed a candle in one hand and hauled himself once again back into the trees. He was shortly pursued by the rest of his band of swingers. Following his lead all twenty seven of them lunged for candles and leaped back up into threes. Then began the most beautiful and graceful dance that I have ever in my life seen!

In silent and exotic formations, the swingers led by Nigel, began their danced. They weaved and dived, and jumped and swung. At points I thought that one of them would fall from the sky and crush our beloved bamboo table, but the orangutans always recovered their balance before they could fall anywhere. It was incredibly exciting! With only the starlight and the rippling constellations of the moving monkeys, the two of us sighed and gasped in wonder.

Nigel was the most amazing entertainer! He kept his monkeys in a tight routine, and after forty minutes or so, when he decided that me must be getting bored, he called for all of his swingers to leave the trees and continue the dance on the ground. They tried a can can of some description. To see those large chimps and orang utans, with their large and uncomfortably long front limbs swinging wildly in the can can, and their back legs a blur of movement, was a special treat that I will remember all of my life!

After the performance Nigel greeted us in person. We were so pleased by the performance that we promptly offered the lovable ape a couple of bananas. That wonderful monkey promptly accepted our offer. After a few minutes of fraternising, the orangutan suddenly decided it was time to go. He motioned to his troop, and silently they filed away back into the forest. That was the end of that!
