Inventiveness on Show
On April 5, 13-year-old Nikita from Basti, Uttar Pradesh, showed fast thinking to prevent an animal assault and save herself and her 15-month-old niece from a monkey invasion.
A monkey burst into the room when Nikita played with her niece at her sister’s house in Awas Vikas Colony, Basti, and started looking through the food. According to ANI, other family members were in other rooms when this occurred.
Aware Nikita, while terrified, saw Alexa, the Amazon virtual assistant, perched atop the refrigerator and ordered it to bark, hoping the monkey would be scared off by the noises of animals. The cunning plan worked as planned.
Shipra Ojha, Nikita’s mother, acknowledged that her daughter’s fast thinking and skillful use of Alexa prevented a potential monkey assault while praising Nikita’s ingenuity. “Both their lives were saved by such good use of the Alexa device, we were in another room but due to the wisdom of daughter Nikita, she asked the Alexa to make the sound of a dog and hearing the sound the monkey ran away,” she stated to ANI.
