      The Monkeys and Their Mother



It is said that a Monkey has two young ones at each birth.

The Mother loves one and nurtures it with the greatest affection and care, but hates and neglects the other one.

 It happened once that the young one which was caressed and loved was smothered by the too great affection of the Mother, while the despised one was nurtured and reared in spite of the neglect to which it was exposed.

Moral: The best intentions will not always ensure success.
