Gopal and Chiku: A Story of Unexpected Friendship

Every morning, Gopal followed the same routine: tea and newspaper on his porch.

But Chiku, a mischievous langur monkey, loved to challenge Gopal's order.

His favorite target: Gopal's glasses. Snatch! Then back up the tree.

Thief! Rascal! Bring them back, you hairy nuisance! One day,

Gopal sat silently, slumped. His wife had passed. Sensing his sadness,

Chiku crept close, offering a mango seed. He smoothed the paper.

A first smile in days spread across Gopal's face. From then, mornings changed.

Gopal read, Chiku listened, offering comfort.
