It was a peaceful morning in the jungle park, and Mama Rozy had just given birth to a tiny newborn baby monkey. The fragile baby clung tightly to her chest as they sat high up in a tall tree. But something didn’t feel right.
Rozy, usually a loving and gentle mother, seemed distracted. She shifted uncomfortably on the branch, restless and nervous. Perhaps she was overwhelmed. Perhaps she didn’t understand what to do with the tiny life she had just brought into the world.
Suddenly, in a shocking moment, Rozy stood up, pacing along the branch with her newborn clinging weakly to her belly. A sudden rustle startled her—and in one tragic movement, she pulled her baby away and let go.
The newborn tumbled through the branches, landing hard on the ground below.
Nearby monkeys screeched and scattered. A few humans who cared for the park heard the cries and rushed over. They found the tiny baby motionless, breathing faintly, its little body trembling.
Caregivers quickly wrapped the baby in a soft towel, checking for broken bones or serious wounds. Miraculously, the baby survived the fall—though bruised and frightened.
Mama Rozy remained in the tree, pacing and lip-smacking, unsure and distant. It wasn’t hatred that made her drop the baby. It was fear, confusion, and lack of motherly instinct, something that sometimes happens in young or first-time monkey mothers.
The rescued baby was taken in by the park’s team, given warm milk, and placed in a cozy incubator. Though still weak, there was hope for a full recovery.
It was a heartbreaking reminder that not every mother knows how to love from the start. But thanks to gentle care and compassion, this little one was given a second chance at life.
