I took the BABY LANGUR to our BACKYARD AND gently LAID him on the floor inside
the poultry coop. His body WAS full of deep bite MARKS AND SCRATCHED. Blood WAS oozing
from some of the wounds. The BABY REMAINED motionless. My FATHER provided first AID
to CLEAN the wounds AND stop the bleeding. I WAS relieved to find out THAT the BABY WAS
BREATHING, even though his BREATHS were SHALLOW.
SPLASHES of cold WATER MADE the BABY stir AND AFTER A few SHAKY ATTEMPTS, he SAT
up. He WAS in STATE of shock AND STARTED trembling like A LEAF in the wind. His two little
twinkling eyes welled up with TEARS AND he STARTED to sob with A muffled cry - just
like A HUMAN child would AFTER experiencing TRAUMA. I offered him A peeled BANANA
which he ACCEPTED with his UNSTEADY HAND AND BEGAN TAKING HESITANT bites.
My ATTENTION WAS fixed on the REVIVAL of the BABY LANGUR. Suddenly, I HAD AN
UNCANNY feeling of being WATCHED. I turned AWAY from the coop AND looked up. There
SAT the mother LANGUR on our kitchen roof, WATCHING every move I MADE. She simply SAT
there quietly, AS if convinced THAT no HARM WAS being done to her child.
