Hi Wen, over at Baby Butts, Rashmi & Company are trying to put together a monkey cover and we were thinking of putting dancing/frolicking/tumbling monkey below it in Chinese Characters. But when I looked up Dance and Monkey in my dictionary, I got a bunch of different charactes. What combination of characters do you think would be best to convey the term "Dancing Monkey"?

Thanks! Here are the links of one place on line where the characters can be found:

http://cgibin.erols.com/mandarintools/cgi-bin/charlook.pl

She needs to know ASAP so that Lark can get the covers done in time for Leela's party!

We all thank you from the very bottom of our hearts. :)

ETA: I hope I'm not breaking any rules or protocol by posting this here. If so, I apologize ahead of time.

If you'd prefer, you can e-mail me at firstname @ chemicalgraphics.com

Thanks!

If you don't get anything, my husband said he'd help find it for you...he wrote it out, but he isn't artistic enough for me to scan them and have it make any sense...When he's done downstairs he'll look for you if you don't have it :)

Karen, that'd be awesome! I could ask my parents, but I'm not sure they'd know how to scan the characters and e-mail it to me!

Thanks!

OK, he said he'd use the first result on this page for dance
http://www.monashwushu.com/cgi-bin/wordlook.pl?word=%CE%E8&searchtype=gb&where=start

and the first result on this page for monkey
http://www.monashwushu.com/cgi-bin/wordlook.pl?word=%BA%EF&searchtype=gb&where=start

maybe someone else can double verify that for you :) but he says that is what would be most appropriate :)

Sorry, Eileen. Not sure when you posted your question but I only just now saw it. What you got is probably better than my answer. My answer would have been more characters but basically the same idea. Now I'm going to have to check out Baby Butts because I'm curious about this project.
