Poor baby monkey Lily found herself in a heartbreaking moment today, and no one could have imagined what would happen next. The sun had barely risen when baby Lily, along with Leo and Rainbow, were playing gently near the old tree under the watchful eyes of Monkey Libby. But suddenly, everything changed.
Lily had wandered a bit too far, curiously following a butterfly. While the others remained nearby, Libby, who was supposed to care for them, ignored Lily’s absence. The little baby tripped and tumbled down a small slope, letting out a painful cry. Her tiny body rolled through the leaves, and she sat there stunned and scared, calling out for help — but no one came quickly.
Leo and Rainbow looked concerned. They rushed toward their friend, circling her protectively. Leo gently tried to pull Lily’s arm, while Rainbow stood alert, watching if anyone would come help. But Libby sat above, watching from a tree branch with no urgency. Her indifference shocked anyone who cared about these innocent babies.
Lily whimpered quietly, trying to stand but clearly hurt and frightened. Finally, after what felt like forever, Libby descended slowly but didn’t offer much comfort — just sniffed and walked away, leaving the little ones on their own again.
It was a painful scene. Why didn’t Libby protect Lily? Why didn’t she come running the moment Lily cried? These baby monkeys need love and care, not neglect.
We can only pray for sweet Lily, that she stays safe and that someone more loving will look after her, Leo, and Rainbow. These innocent lives depend on kindness. Today was a reminder: even in the wild, love and protection are what every baby truly needs.
