A married couple visited a zoo and came across a male and female monkey. The male was playing and showing love to the female. The wife said to her husband, “What a romantic animal.”
Then, soon after, they came across a lion and a lioness. The lion sat alone in silence, away from the lioness, showing no emotion. The wife said to her husband, “What a sad scene with no love.”
Her husband then said to her, “Throw that stone at the Lioness and watch.” When she threw the stone at the lioness, the lion roared with anger to defend his lioness.
The husband then convinced his wife to do the same with the Monkey. When she threw the stone towards the monkey’s female. The monkey jumped up and climbed the tree and abandoned his female to save himself.
The husband then explained to his wife, “Don’t let your eyes deceive you. Some people can appear to show love and affection but they’ll always choose themselves over you. This is because their hearts are empty. Yet, some people may not appear as loving but they will always be there for you in times of need. So much so they will even sacrifice themselves for you. This is because their hearts contain genuine love for you.”
Nowadays, there are more monkeys than lions.
