Lily’s Scare: A Baby Monkey’s Trouble and the Friends Who Saved Her
The jungle was peaceful, with birds singing softly and tree leaves dancing in the warm breeze. In the middle of all this beauty played four little monkeys—baby Lily, curious Leo, sweet Rainbow, and their gentle caretaker, Monkey Libby.
Lily was the smallest and most adventurous of the group. Always full of energy, she loved to run ahead and explore. Leo, her best friend, was never far behind, while Rainbow stayed close to Libby, the older monkey who watched over them like a mother.
One sunny morning, the troop had just finished breakfast when Lily spotted something shiny near the edge of a small rocky slope—a sparkling beetle crawling across the ground. Curious and excited, Lily darted toward it without thinking.
“Lily, wait!” Libby called, but the warning came too late.
Lily slipped.
The slope was steeper than it looked, and the loose earth gave way beneath her tiny feet. She tumbled down, landing with a small thud at the bottom, hidden from view. A moment of silence was followed by a faint whimper.
“God help… Lily!” Rainbow gasped.
Leo rushed to the edge and looked down. “She’s stuck!”
Libby moved quickly, calm but focused. She climbed down the slope with care, calling softly to Lily. The little monkey was curled up, shaking—more scared than hurt. Libby gently picked her up and cradled her close. She checked her for injuries, then began grooming her to help calm her down.
Lily clung to Libby, still trembling. Leo and Rainbow climbed down carefully to be near her, their eyes full of concern.
“You’re okay now, Lily,” Libby whispered.
Back at the top, the troop gathered in relief. Lily’s mother hurried over, wrapping her arms around her baby with love and gratitude.
By evening, Lily was feeling better. She stayed close to her friends, no longer running ahead. Leo shared his favorite fruit with her, and Rainbow nuzzled her cheek gently.
The jungle was calm again, but the memory of the day stayed with them all. Lily had been scared, but she was safe—thanks to love, quick thinking, and the strength of friendship.
