4. Splashes of cold water made the baby ______
I took the baby langur to our backyard and gently laid him on the floor inside the poultry
coop. His body was full of deep bite marks and scratched. Blood was oozing from some of the
wounds. The baby remained motionless. My father provided first aid to clean the wounds and stop
the bleeding. I was relieved to find out that the baby was breathing, even though his breaths were
shallow.
Splashes of cold water made the baby stir and after a few shaky attempts, he sat up. He was
in state of shock and started trembling like a leaf in the wind. His two little twinkling eyes welled
up with tears and he started to sob with a muffled cry - just like a human child would after
experiencing trauma. I offered him a peeled banana which he accepted with his unsteady hand and
began taking hesitant bites.
My attention was fixed on the revival of the baby langur. Suddenly, I had an uncanny
feeling of being watched. I turned away from the coop and looked up. There sat the mother langur
on our kitchen roof, watching every move I made. She simply sat there quietly, as if convinced that
no harm was being done to her child.
