Transcript

Romanian peasants believe that a man suffering from rheumatism can recover his full health by having a trained bear walk back and forth on his back for a half hour. Believe it or not. In a moment I'll tell you how a tower was named after a monkey.

In Rome, Italy the monkey's tower got its name from a near tragedy. A monkey imitating a child's nurse suddenly grabbed an infant belonging to the powerful Franky-Pani family and climbed with it to the top of this tower.

There, it dressed and undressed the infant as the mother frantic with fear prayed below. Her prayers were answered. The monkey climbed down with the unharmed baby. In commemoration, a light has been burning on the top of the tower for the past six centuries.

Believe it or not. It's only that I've run off the track, as he railed by the irony.

Can you hear the hoes? Can you hear the riders coming? On Presidential Rooves, listen to the sinister drumming. Can you hear the hoes? Can you hear the riders coming? On Presidential Rooves, hear the sinister drumming.
