Jupiter and the Monkey

Among the Animals in the forest, there was once a baby show. Jupiter provided the prize. Of course, all the proud mothers from far and near brought their babies. But none arrived earlier than Mother Monkey. Proudly, she presented her baby among the other contestants.

As you can imagine, there was quite a laugh when the Animals saw the ugly, flat-nosed, hairless, pop-eyed little creature.

"Laugh if you will," said Mother Monkey. "Though Jupiter may not give him the prize, I know that he is the prettiest, the sweetest, the dearest darling in the world."

Mother love is blind.
