The forest was filled with tension as a jealous female monkey fixed her eyes on a tiny baby clinging to its mother. The mother monkey, weak and tired, had just given birth and was still recovering. But the jealous female, driven by envy and confusion, crept closer, her intentions far from kind. She had long desired a baby of her own, and seeing another mother with such precious love stirred something dark inside her.
Suddenly, she lunged forward, trying to pry the baby from the mother’s arms. The mother screamed in fear and wrapped her arms tightly around her infant, pulling it close to her chest. The baby monkey cried helplessly, sensing the danger and trembling with terror. The mother tried to escape, climbing higher into the trees, but the jealous attacker followed, biting and pulling at her fur.
The scene was heartbreaking—one mother’s desperate attempt to protect her newborn against another’s uncontrollable jealousy. Other monkeys nearby watched in shock but didn’t interfere. The baby’s cries echoed through the forest as the struggle continued. Finally, after a fierce chase, the mother managed to leap to another branch, clutching her baby tightly and escaping her attacker.
Breathing heavily, the mother hid among the leaves, gently soothing her frightened baby. Though shaken and hurt, she had protected the one she loved most. In her trembling arms, the baby finally quieted, nuzzling close to the warmth of its mother’s body—a small but powerful victory of love over jealousy.
