Libby, the strong but troubled mother monkey, was pacing restlessly under the tall fig tree. Her eyes were sharp and full of frustration. For days she had been searching for her baby, Brady, whom Rose had taken away after a terrible misunderstanding. The whole group could feel the tension in the air. Even little Rainbow, Rose’s gentle baby, stayed close to her mother’s arms, sensing something was wrong.
When Libby appeared again that morning, her body language spoke louder than any words. She barked loudly, slapped the ground, and pulled at branches, showing her anger to everyone around. Rose froze in fear, clutching Rainbow tightly. Libby wasn’t attacking — she was giving a warning, a mother’s desperate cry for justice.
The other monkeys gathered, whispering and watching. They understood the pain in Libby’s heart. She didn’t want to hurt anyone; she only wanted her Brady back. Her cries echoed through the forest, filled with heartbreak and longing.
Finally, Rose slowly stepped forward. Their eyes met — one full of sorrow, the other trembling with guilt. Rose realized that keeping Brady was wrong. The two mothers stood still for a long moment before Rose gently placed Brady near Libby.
Libby instantly calmed down, holding her baby close again. Peace slowly returned to the group. The warning was clear: no mother should ever be separated from her child.
