Old Mama Berry, once a respected leader in the troop, seemed strangely upset. Her eyes looked filled with anger and confusion. No one knew what had made her heart so heavy, but that pain soon turned into aggression. Without warning, she lunged toward the pregnant mother and her baby. The forest filled with cries — the little one clung tightly to his mother, trembling in fear, as Mama Berry struck them both.
The mother tried to protect her baby with her body, crying softly but refusing to fight back. She only wanted peace. Other monkeys watched from a distance, unsure whether to intervene or flee. The once-happy atmosphere of the group turned cold and silent.
After the attack, Mama Berry sat alone, breathing heavily, her anger fading into sadness. Perhaps she realized too late what she had done — her old heart broken by jealousy, fear, or loneliness. The injured mother and her baby huddled together nearby, still trembling but alive.
This heartbreaking moment reminds us that even among animals, emotions run deep — anger, regret, love, and forgiveness. The jungle, though wild and untamed, is a mirror of our own world. Sometimes, those who hurt others are also the ones hurting inside.
