In mid-October I got a real surprise. A lorry pulled up in front of my house

and the driver announced that he had a sokomutu for sale cheap. In the
Swahili language that means man of the market place, the name the chimpanzee
earned because of his shrewd, sociable nature. In the back of the lorry was a fullgrown male chimp, trussed up inside a heavy hunting net. He was too powerful 5
an animal to turn loose in my garden, and I was about to refuse the offer when I
noticed that he had an open, weeping wound on his right wrist.

That wound is infected. It may kill him, I said to the driver.

Why else do you think Id sell a chimp for twenty dollars? If he dies, you 10
wont lose much, but if he gets better youll have made a smart deal.
It was clear that unless I intervened, the chimp would die a slow agonizing
death while his owner was trying to sell him. I paid, and the driver and I
unloaded the heavy bundle of netting and carried it to the garage. I picked up a 15
sharp knife from the kitchen, went back to the garage and locked the door from
the inside.
The chimp was smaller than I am, but much stronger. Even with a disabled
hand, he was quite capable of breaking most of my bones. Yet, he was intelligent,
taking in every move with his weary-looking brown eyes. I decided to put my 20
trust in that intelligence and so I squatted down next to him, trying to explain with
my gestures and tone of voice that my intentions were friendly. I talked to him
for about ten minutes, calling him Joseph.

Joseph listened attentively, looked at me with pleading eyes, and hooted with
astonishment when I gave him a little pat on the head and a big kiss on the nose. I
gently cut his right hand free. Joseph winced with pain as I then touched his
swollen fingers, but showed neither anger nor alarm. I then slowly freed his legs,
watching him carefully. He didnt make a move, even when I finally released him
from the last folds of netting around his arms. That was where the danger lay :
like most animals, chimpanzees will rarely bite before they catch hold of their
prey.
Now he was completely free, but he remained motionless. Finally, pushing
his big lips forward, he saluted me with a rising crescendo of hoots, climaxed by a
broad, winning smile. I hooted back at him with a matching smile. Still
squatting, he moved towards me slowly. He raised his hand and peered at the
wound with a melancholic expression. I extended my own hand and he rested his
swollen fingers on my palm.
I must have held the hand for five minutes, while I tried to determine the
extent of the infection. Joseph hooted a running commentary until I tried to
leave the garage to get medical aid. As soon as I unlocked the door, he shrieked
and shot out of the garage past me. When he was about sixty metres away, he sat
down, screaming hysterically. I walked towards him slowly. To my surprise, he
let me close the gap and take him by the left hand. I squeezed it tightly in my
own, trying to reassure him and yet also trying to give him the illusion of my
superior strength and authority. Gently, I persuaded him back to the garage. I sat
down and waited quietly. After some moments, he sat down himself.

Stay here! I said, holding a finger in front of his nose; but as soon as I got
up he tried to follow. We did this again and again and again for more 50
than an hour. Finally, he gave in and decided to stay there. I left in a hurry,
locking the door from the outside.
I went to find the District Veterinary Surgeon. He was away until the next
day, so I left an urgent message and returned to my house to gather some
elementary medical supplies.
55
I opened the garage door and found Joseph sitting just inside. This time, he
made no attempt to escape, but remained entirely submissive, even when I washed
the wound. Only when I probed at the deepest part did he pull his hand away in
pain. He inspected the wrist slowly and then put his hand back in mine. I
covered the wrist with sulphur powder and wrapped it in about six metres of 60
bandage, hoping that some of it would remain in place.

32. Read the following poem What Has Happened to Lulu? and answer the questions
that follow.
What Has Happened to Lulu

What has happened to Lulu, mother?

What has happened to Lu?
There's nothing in her bed but an old rag-doll
And by its side a shoe.
Why is her window wide, mother,
The curtain flapping free,
And only a circle on the dusty shelf
Where her money-box used to be?
Why do you turn your head, mother,
And why do tear drops fall?
And why do you crumple that note on the fire
And say it is nothing at all?

I woke to voices late last night,

I heard an engine roar.
Why do you tell me the things I heard
Were a dream and nothing more?
I heard somebody cry, mother,
In anger or in pain,
But now I ask you why, mother,
You say it was a gust of rain.
Why do you wander about as though
You don't know what to do?
What has happened to Lulu, mother?
What has happened to Lu?
