- Mom! - screamed the out of breath monkey, jumping onto the branch of a tall tree. “I just met a lioness.” How beautiful she is!
The mother monkey parted the branches and looked at the animal, frozen in anticipation of prey.
“This is not a lioness, but a panther,” my mother explained. - Take a closer look at the color of her skin.
- Yes, she’s just a sight for sore eyes! “You can’t take your eyes off,” exclaimed the monkey. “Everything seems to be strewn with black roses.”
And indeed, from afar it seemed that marvelous double flowers suddenly bloomed among the grass that had turned yellow from the heat.
“The panther knows how attractive it is, and uses its beauty as bait,” continued the mother monkey. — Seeing the stranger’s bright attire, the bewitched animals follow her and become easy prey for the predator. And beauty sometimes serves for evil deeds.
