The Ape and her Young
An ape had two babies. She loved one but not the other. One day the
hunters came and the ape picked up the baby she loved to protect
it. The other baby jumped onto her back. The ape ran quickly but she was
not careful. The head of the baby she loved hit a stone and the baby was
killed. The baby she hated hung on to the mother and
survived.
