Even though it was late in the evening, the British Museum was crowded with people who had come to celebrate the Chinese Moon Festival (which the Museum was celebrating a few days late). Mr Monkey learned about the history of the Moon Festival, failed to taste mooncakes and tea, decided the brushes used in the calligraphy session were too big for a small monkey, and watched a musician playing on the main stairs. Then he let Mr Rik eat at the Konacki on Coptic Street, and they caught the underground back to Hammersmith.
