🐾  "A Pet Like No Other"

The villagers found a baby monkey near the forest and decided to keep it as a pet. At first, it was fun—swinging on curtains and eating fruit from her hand. But soon, the monkey began to act wild, biting furniture, screaming at strangers, and trying to run away. The villager realised love wasn't enough—what the monkey truly needed was its natural home.

🧠 Reflective Questions:

1. Focus on Curiosity and Choices
   Why do some people bring wild animals into their homes, even when it may not be the best choice?

2. Focus on Natural Behaviour and Environment
   What challenges arise when a wild animal is taken out of its natural habitat and brought into a home?

3. Focus on Responsibility and Consequences
   How did the decision to keep the monkey affect both the villagers and the monkey in the long run?

4. Focus on Care vs. Freedom
   Can love and care replace the natural freedom and environment a wild animal needs? Why or why not?

5. Focus on Learning and Growth
   What lesson can we take from the villagers' experience about the kind of pets we choose and how we care for them?
