The monkey had watched his actions, had stolen his caps while he slept and had put them on, and now they did not pay any attention to his shouts.

Jetlag happens when you go (4) to a country where the time is very different. For example, you might leave London (5) at midday and fly (6) to Los Angeles. The flight takes about eleven hours, so when you arrive (7) at Los Angeles airport, your body thinks you’re there (8) at 11 pm. But Los Angeles is eight hours behind London, so you actually get there (9) at 3 pm local time. So, (10) at midnight Los Angeles time, your body (which still thinks it’s (11) in London) says it’s 8 am.
