“Mama,
she is snarling at me.” The little gorilla nudges her mother’s knee.
“Let
her snarl baby. She is behind bars; she can’t harm you.” Her mother pacifies
her.
“She
is so strange looking ma. She only has hair on her head, the rest of her is so
bald.” The little girl sniggers in disdain.
“That’s
the way God made them honey, we shouldn’t judge.” Her mother lightly reprimands
her.
“But
her face has no shape. And she looks so weak, I could snap her hand in a
moment.” The little girl tries for her mother to see that there is enough cause
to judge.
“We wouldn’t
now, would we love. Not until she harms us. And look at her, she is so little.
How could she ever? We must be kind to those who have lesser than us.” The
mother tries to pass a life lesson as mothers are wont to do.
“I don’t
like her.” The adamant little gorilla snarls at the human girl making her jump
back in fright.
“Mama,
she is snarling at me.” Cried the little human.
