In the heart of the jungle, where the towering trees swayed and the chattering of monkeys filled the air, lived a wise mama monkey named Daisy. She was known for her patience, intelligence, and the way she cared for her little one, Demi. However, Demi was a mischievous baby monkey, always up to some kind of trouble, never listening to his mother’s warnings.
One sunny morning, as Daisy plucked ripe mangoes from a tree, Demi spotted a vine hanging temptingly from a tall branch. Ignoring his mother’s warnings, he swung on it recklessly, laughing as he twirled through the air. “Demi, be careful! That vine is not as strong as it looks,” Daisy cautioned. But Demi, too caught up in his excitement, did not listen.
Snap! The vine broke, sending Demi tumbling into a thick bush. Startled but unhurt, he whimpered as he tried to untangle himself. Daisy walked over, her wise eyes filled with both concern and a hint of sternness. “See, Demi? This is why I always tell you to be careful and listen,” she said gently.
Demi’s ears drooped as he realized his mistake. “I’m sorry, Mama,” he mumbled. Daisy helped him up and said, “Being playful is fine, but wisdom keeps us safe. If you don’t listen, the jungle will teach you harder lessons.”
From that day on, Demi still played and explored, but he also remembered his mother’s words. He learned that while fun was important, so was listening to wisdom. Daisy’s lesson had been tough, but it was one that shaped him into a smarter, wiser young monkey, ready to navigate the jungle safely.
And so, under Daisy’s watchful eye, Demi grew—not just in strength, but in wisdom too.
