The scene in the jungle was heartbreaking to watch. A poor baby monkey was being dragged roughly across the ground by its own mother. The tiny creature cried out in pain, its weak little body covered in dust and scratches. Each pull seemed to hurt so much, but the mother didn’t stop. She held her baby tightly by the leg and kept dragging it through the dry leaves and dirt.
Some people might wonder why a mother monkey would do such a painful thing to her own baby. In nature, mother monkeys sometimes act harshly when teaching their young how to behave or testing their strength. But for this baby, the lesson looked far too painful. Its face showed both fear and confusion, not understanding why the one it trusted most was hurting it.
Nearby, other monkeys watched silently. A few young ones looked frightened, while older monkeys seemed to ignore the scene, as if it were a normal part of jungle life. The little baby tried to resist, but it was too weak to escape.
Eventually, the mother stopped and held the baby close again. The crying slowed, and the two sat quietly under the tree. Though the moment was harsh, it showed the tough reality of wild life — love can sometimes appear cruel, and survival often comes with pain. The baby, though hurt, had learned another difficult lesson about life in the wild.
