A hilarious video of a man negotiating with a monkey after the animal took away a pair of eyeglasses has left netizens amused after it went viral on social media. “Smart, Ek haath do, Ek haath lo. (Give from one hand, take from another),” tweeted IPS officer Rupin Sharma while sharing the clip featuring the brief interaction between the two.
In the 10-second clip, which has garnered over 25,000 views, the monkey is seen sitting atop a caged structure, a pair of spectacles in its hand. Below, a man is seen trying to hand over a juice box to the animal in an attempt to get the glasses back.
While the monkey, at first, appears reluctant to return the spectacles, it eventually flicks it over to the man after accepting the juice box.

Faced such situation in Brindavan. A local suggested to give a fruti and get back spectacle. Actually that happened.
