It was a horrifying moment that no one could forget. Little Amira, the playful and curious baby monkey, found herself in a place she should never have been—caught dangerously near an electric pole at the edge of the village. What started as a simple adventure turned into a terrifying accident that brought tears to everyone watching.
Amira had followed her mother, Lora, and a few others as they wandered close to the human area, searching for fruit scraps and water. The group often visited this spot, but no one imagined danger was waiting there. While the others climbed fences and rooftops, Amira’s curiosity drew her toward the tall electric pole. Its wires hummed faintly in the air, unnoticed by the innocent baby.
As she climbed higher, her tiny hands slipped between the cables. A sharp spark flashed, followed by her loud, heart-wrenching scream. The troop immediately panicked. Lora rushed toward the pole, calling out desperately, pacing back and forth as her baby cried out in unbearable pain. The sound pierced the air—it was the cry of pure fear and agony.
Nearby people tried to help, shouting and waving sticks to scare Amira away from the dangerous spot, but it was too late. The shock had stunned her. Her small body went still for a moment, and she hung there weakly, unable to move. Lora’s cries grew louder, echoing through the trees. It was one of the saddest sights—a mother watching helplessly as her baby suffered, trapped in something she couldn’t understand.
Finally, after the current stopped flowing, Amira slid down, motionless but breathing faintly. The villagers gently approached, wrapping her in cloth and moving her away from the wires. Lora followed closely, still calling to her baby, her cries soft and trembling. Though weak and hurt, Amira’s tiny chest still moved—a small sign of hope.
The troop gathered around quietly, their usual chatter replaced by silence. That day reminded everyone how dangerous human structures can be for wild animals, especially the young and curious.
Amira’s story is a painful warning—but also a plea for kindness and awareness. These little lives share our world, and every wire, pole, or fence can become a silent trap. May Amira heal, and may her cries never echo again.
