The Sad Story of Little Rainbow the Monkey

Tiny Monkey Rainbow Was Mis-Treated by Step Mummy Libby

In a quiet village nestled beside a lush green forest, there lived a tiny monkey named Rainbow. She was called Rainbow because of the shimmering streaks of golden, brown, and silver that danced across her soft fur whenever sunlight touched her. Rainbow was playful, curious, and kind-hearted. She loved climbing the tallest trees, gathering sweet mangoes, and listening to the songs of birds at sunset. But behind her bright eyes was a story of sadness that no one in the village truly understood.

After Rainbow’s mother passed away, her father remarried a stern and distant monkey named Libby. At first, Libby seemed polite and gentle, but her kindness quickly faded. She grew cold toward little Rainbow, often scolding her for the smallest mistakes. If Rainbow laughed too loudly, Libby would snap at her. If she returned a little late from playing, Libby would refuse her dinner. The tiny monkey tried her best to please her step mummy, cleaning leaves from their nest and sharing the ripest fruits she found. Still, nothing was ever good enough.

Rainbow’s father was often away searching for food deep in the forest, unaware of how lonely and mistreated his daughter felt. Libby would give Rainbow the hardest chores, making her carry heavy bundles of sticks while other young monkeys played freely among the trees. At night, Rainbow would curl up alone, staring at the stars, whispering her worries to the moon.

Yet despite the unkindness she faced, Rainbow’s spirit did not break. She continued to show kindness to others, helping injured birds and sharing fruit with hungry squirrels. Slowly, the forest animals began to notice her gentle heart. They offered her comfort and friendship, reminding her that she was valued and loved.

One day, when Rainbow bravely shared her feelings with her father, the truth came to light. Change did not happen overnight, but her courage sparked hope. Rainbow learned that even the smallest voice can carry great strength—and that no matter how dark the clouds seem, a rainbow always finds a way to shine again.
