Jonathan’s initial thought was to take the very frail-appearing white “monkey” to a nearby vet for treatment when he discovered it in the forest. But he would soon come to understand that this was a grave error. He should have just left it there as he was not even dealing with a monkey. However, it was already too late.
It Wasn’t A Monkey
Jonathan had become even more certain of his suspicions after seeing the veterinarian’s response. No monkey had been saved from the forest by him. This was definitely something new. And he was about to receive the assurance he was seeking.
A Mistake
The veterinarian returned from the clinic. However, he was missing the tiny white creature. When he put a hand on Jonathan’s shoulder and said, “I know it’s not your fault, but you made a big mistake,” he appeared worried.
He Shouldn’t Have Taken It
Jonathan’s mouth fell open as the vet began to introduce himself. He had only wished to assist this defenseless creature. But he ought to have just left it alone… But what sort of creature did Jonathan “rescue” from the forest? Why exactly would leaving it alone have been preferable?
He Loves Animal So Much
Since he can remember, Jonathan has had a deep affection for animals. He would not be on a rescue mission for an animal today for the first time. He adored the outdoors and frequently went for walks through the woods. Today, like so many other days, he would lend a hand to an animal in need. However, things are not as they seem.
Helping Animals
Jonathan believed he had seen everything. After all, he had saved a large number of creatures, including birds, rats, lost dogs and cats, and an animal that resembled a wild boar. Although he disliked being hailed as a hero, helping these animals made him feel good on the inside. They were, after all, so adorable and endearing. How could he refuse to assist a helpless animal?
A Newborn Animal
He was quite adept at aiding animals. He knew a few veterinarians in the city and was able to recognize simple issues. This implied that he had good confidence in his ability to recognize animals, but this particular situation would be different. The newborn animal was alone, which was the main issue, but the trouble was about to begin.
It Was Crying For Help
Jonathan was certain he heard an animal calling for aid during one of his treks through the woods outside of the city. In the woods, he stopped and waited to hear it once more. He didn’t have to wait long before hearing the wail once more. Although it was barely audible, it was there. Most importantly, it sounded like a puppy, but how could a puppy end up so far away?
Looking For The Lost Puppy
Jonathan was committed to locating the puppy. He moved into the woodland while paying attention to the cries and taking slow, careful steps. When the crying eventually stopped, he momentarily believed he had lost the puppy. When Jonathan heard the quiet whimpering again, he took a few steps back in fear that he had gone too far.
An Unfortunate Little Thing
He finally spotted the small animal. A tiny patch of moss covered the ground, and a white baby monkey with undeveloped eyes was sleeping there. Looking around for additional potential puppies, Jonathan crouched over the helpless animal. After all, they frequently arrived in groups. However, nothing was there.
Looking For Any Injuries
Jonathan examined the little creature for a while, hoping to spot any injuries of any kind. Except for being alone and likely afraid, the monkey appeared to be in no danger. Was it a monkey, though? The more he about it, Jonathan grew uncertain. There were other strange things going on as well.
An Odd Bed
Jonathan found the small moss bed containing the alleged monkey to be unusual and odd. This was not something that would typically be discovered in nature. Maybe an animal had constructed it as a kind of nest? An animal would still make more mess, though. One very perplexing and possibly terrifying conclusion was left.
It Might Be Humans
One possibility remained if it hadn’t been an animal and it wasn’t natural. Humans. Why would someone venture out into the middle of the woods and abandon a young puppy there alone was the big issue. Even so, was that a monkey? Although Jonathan had many unanswered questions, he was aware that something needed to be done.
Going For A Walk
He turned the cover of his travel bag into a temporary container and placed the puppy inside it with care. Before he reached his car, he still had a long way to walk, but at least for the moment, the little creature would be safe and shielded from any dangerous animals around.
It Might Rain
Jonathan walked back to his car, stopping frequently to check on the puppy. Jonathan didn’t want the young infant to get cold or wet because it was supposed to rain. However, the more he observed the animal, the more intrigued he became. Even though he had his doubts, he was now almost certain it wasn’t a monkey. What was it then?
Unsure If It Was Even A Monkey
The black creature had no distinguishing characteristics; it was little and clearly a baby. The face seemed strange enough, but it was truly too young to know what it was. For it to have a face like that, it would have to be some kind of monkey. There was no other reason that sprang to his mind.
He Had Another Idea
Jonathan didn’t come up with a different thought till he had continued walking. The animal might not have been indigenous to this region or woodland. Although a monkey wouldn’t be indigenous to this area, it would at least make a little more sense. How did the animal get here if it wasn’t local to the area? Humans were once more the only response that made sense.
He Needed A Vet
Whatever the creature was, Jonathan would take care of it and find it the assistance it required. The monkey would most likely be accepted by a shelter, but first, it needed to see a doctor. It took a half-hour to drive to the city. Until then, Jonathan hoped the creature would remain safe. The outside was growing darker.
Reaching The Parking Lot
After some more time passed, Jonathan finally arrived at the parking lot. He only needed two seconds to see that something was seriously wrong. There was no one in the parking lot. There was nobody present. That would be typical given the approaching weather, but his car was also gone!
He Found A Clue
Jonathan stood up and headed over to where he thought he had parked it. Thinking he might be mistaken, he quickly walked around the parking lot in search of his car. It was not able to be towed. He had parked it in this lot just here. That was entirely acceptable. He returned to the original location and discovered one clue.
There Was Broken Glass
Jonathan stooped to the pavement and discovered a lot of broken glass. Small pieces that he had previously missed. Now it was clear that his automobile had been smashed into and taken. They had both the chance and the time. With rain approaching and the weather changing, how was he expected to return to the city?
His Car Was His Priority
He had been strolling through a little-known park that was located off of a peaceful road. Jonathan is lucky because he still has his phone and some battery. He made the choice to report his automobile being stolen to the police first. Although the tiny animal in his pack was significant, his car right now was more vital.
Calling The Police
Jonathan provided the authorities with information on his vehicle, including its kind, make, model, where it had been, its license plate, and any other pertinent information. Although it was all they could do at the moment, the police assured him that they would keep an eye out for it. He said “thank you” and hung up. He was still stranded despite that being completed.
He Needed A Ride
The little creature in his pack still need attention, so he refrained from heading to his city residence. He had to go to the veterinarian before heading back home. He didn’t even have a car anymore, and the veterinarian’s office was in the city, still a half-hour drive away. But surely finding a ride couldn’t be that difficult in the modern world.
He Can’t Find A Ride
Jonathan started by using the Uber app. Nobody wanted to travel so far outside the city to take him up. Although Jonathan was eager to pay the fare, nobody wanted to take him. Next, Jonathan tried using a taxi service. He tried to explain his predicament, but they all rejected him. They were concerned that the situation was a ruse to rob them and their drivers.
Losing Hope
Jonathan wasn’t yet deterred by this. There were many cab firms in a city that size, but he lost heart when each one rejected him. After being rejected by the sixth firm, Jonathan was enraged. He was in a desperate situation, and it was now beginning to shower. The cold was not where he wanted to be. It was time to make a significant change.
He Decided To Hitchhike
He intended to get a ride. Even though not many cars traveled down this road, one finally had to. Just a matter of time, really. Fortunately, he only had to wait a few minutes for a car to come around the bend. Jonathan said his thanks and started working.
There Was A Car
Jonathan flagged down the automobile and then extended his thumb to signal that he wanted a ride. A woman of middle age slid down her automobile window. Jonathan described what had transpired. said he needed a ride into the city because his car had been stolen. Would she accept his story?
Heading To The City
She had the good fortune to be going to the city as well and had no trouble getting Jonathan to go with her. She appeared sympathetic and accepted his account. As soon as he sat down in the passenger seat, he noticed a strange sound emanating from the car’s backseat.
The Labrador Reacted
Jonathan stood up and focused on the animal in his arms. The woman’s labrador walked up to him and cautiously crept toward the package, sniffing around it to discover what was concealed inside. Jonathan initially believed that the dog had sniffed a puppy and that this had triggered its maternal instinct, but he soon realized he was mistaken.
The Labrador Might Be Curious
Jonathan grinned at the larger dog and let go of the monkey-covering bundle, allowing the labrador to go closer to it. Because of the labrador’s composure, Jonathan was persuaded that the larger dog wouldn’t be a threat. Jonathan peeled down the covers and watched in terror as the dog was confronted by the monkey!
It Started Growling
Jonathan didn’t realize his mistake until it was too late. The labrador glanced at the monkey and gave it a little sniff before abruptly becoming alarmingly hostile. The labrador started to snarl while flashing her teeth, but her owner promptly punished her for it.
He Started Wondering
Before moving away from the larger dog, who was still clearly upset by the presence of the “monkey,” Jonathan gaped in disbelief. Jonathan let out a frustrated sigh as it became abundantly evident that the animal he had found in the woods was not a puppy. Was that even a monkey, though? How in the world had he behaved?
First Stop
Jonathan hoped in silence that a vet would be able to clarify the matter as he closed his eyes. There had been a change of plans, and despite his head nodding, he looked straight ahead and determined. He would first be visiting a veterinarian! Now it was obvious that identifying the animal would have to come first. Fortunately, the woman was kind enough to deliver him.
In The Waiting Room
Soon later, they arrived at the veterinarian. After wishing him well, the woman left him in front of the structure. Jonathan sat in the waiting area after signing in at the front desk, keeping the small animal tucked inside the bundle to prevent upsetting the other animals in the workplace. However, he did demonstrate the animal to the receptionist, who shared Jonathan’s sense of direction.
Called Into Office
She told Jonathan that because the animal appeared to be in severe shape, she would move him up the list so as not to disturb the other animals. Even knowing that Jonathan was nonetheless taken aback when his name was called just a short while later.
The Vet Did A Research
The veterinarian told Jonathan to go to a chair while still holding the animal in his hand. The vet listened intently and made notes as he described what had happened in the jungle. The meeting only lasted about five minutes before Jonathan was told to return to the waiting area. The vet would occasionally ask questions.
Filing A Report For His Car
Jonathan could concentrate on other crucial issues now that the veterinarian was taking care of the infant animal. the theft of his car, to name one! When Jonathan dialed the police to report that his automobile had been stolen, he was astonished to learn that he would have to be moved to a different division!
They Found His Car
Thankfully, they had discovered his automobile, which explains this. A police officer saw the car and pulled it over for a regular inspection after learning that the thief had driven into town with a shattered window. After the thief and the automobile were detained when the driver was unable to provide his information, Jonathan called in seconds later!
Few More Steps Needed
Jonathan was taken aback to learn all of his information, but he was relieved that everything had gone smoothly in that regard. He still had a few steps to complete before the car could be given to him, not to mention his insurance. But before he could take action, he felt a frantic tap on his shoulder. The vet was there.
He Was Caught Off Guard
After apologizing to the officers, Jonathan hung up. The doctor’s intense expression somewhat perplexed him, but his questions will soon be answered. Jonathan’s heart sank as the vet said, “I know it’s not your fault, but you made a big mistake bringing this animal in here.”
The Vet Explained Everything
The more the doctor explained, the more defeated Jonathan appeared to be. As it turned out, the little animal was in a serious condition, and since the illness had advanced, there was nothing the veterinarian could do to help it. That wasn’t the worst part, though. The animal posed a serious threat to the other animals at the clinic in its present state.
It Had A Contagious Virus
The veterinarian said that the animal had a virus that was extremely contagious among smaller mammals. Not only was it very contagious, but if not treated in a timely manner, it might be lethal. Which applied to the young super glider that Jonathan had discovered.
It Wasn’t A Monkey
Jonathan’s brows first arched in question before his eyes rounded in astonishment. a powerful glider? His fears had been confirmed, and he was in fact not dealing with a puppy after all. He almost laughed at the predicament. However, he genuinely would not have imagined that the young animal was a super glider. The veterinarian went on to explain.
He Knew The Virus
The veterinarian had spent the previous two weeks researching the virus that had afflicted the super glider, so he was familiar with it. Despite being most prevalent in raccoons, it was recently extensively reported in the area that rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, etc. were also susceptible to contracting it.
The Baby Animal Has Been Isolated
Jonathan was suspicious of what he had done. He was promptly brought to peace by the doctor, who stated that the super glider had already been isolated at the back of the store. To stop the infection from infecting other animals, the vet and Jonathan would both require fresh clothing and a shower.
No Risk For Humans
Fortunately for Jonathan and the clinic personnel, there was little chance of getting the virus because people are immune to it. Jonathan felt a lot better after hearing this, but the doctor went on to say that even after following the shower regimen, the other animals would still need to be examined for safety.
A Strange Day
All of the exams were completed a short while afterward. All of the animals’ tests came back negative, the doctor said as he emerged again. Another piece of good news was that the sick super glider would be treated. The day was unusual and adventurous, and Jonathan still often finds his thoughts returning to it.
In Hindsight
It seemed obvious in hindsight that he ought to have abandoned the young super glider in the woods. However, at the time, it did not seem proper to leave a baby animal behind. Even now, he was happy that he had chosen to make an effort to keep it. He had a close relationship with the super glider. He was concerned that the super glider wouldn’t succumb to the infection. He kept in touch with the veterinarian. Then he received a call a few weeks later.
He Received News
The vet was there! The veterinarian advised Jonathan to visit the hospital immediately since there was news regarding the super glider. Although Jonathan was at work, he had a strong need to visit the hospital. He made the decision to pack his car and head to the hospital.
Driving Back To The Vet
Jonathan sped as quickly as he could to the vet without turning around. He felt uneasy for no apparent reason. He had to wait in the waiting area when he arrived at the veterinarian’s clinic. He was sweating. He didn’t know why he was feeling this way, but he was. The veterinarian then entered the waiting area.
Entering The Room
The vet pleaded with them to enter. Jonathan felt uneasy. He had no idea what to anticipate. The veterinarian wore a worried expression. The doctor asked Jonathan a startling question after giving him a quick glance.
Naming The Animal
Jonathan was asked, “Have you picked on a name for the super glider?” There was a moment of stillness as he asked, “A name? Why would I need to choose a name?” Jonathan said, “Monkey! I would like to name him Monkey.” The door eventually opened.
The Super Glider
The assistant entered the space carrying the super glider. The veterinarian reported that the animal had successfully recovered from the illness and was doing great. But given its current weakness, it would never survive in the wild. The doctor then posed the crucial query to Jonathan.
Taking The Glider Home
Jonathan was overjoyed that the animal had done well and asked, “Will you take him home?” Because he had never before taken care of a super glider, he wasn’t sure if he was the right fit. After taking a deep breath, he told the doctor, “Yes, I would like to take him home.”
Filled With Joy
When Jonathan brought the tiny super glider home, he was ecstatic. Jonathan and “Monkey” became close friends. They played quite a bit. Monkey grew more and more powerful. Jonathan made the decision to take the boy outside to play. Then, though, something awful occurred.
It Climbed Up A Tree
Monkey scaled a tree and then vanished. After spending hours in the tree, Jonathan saw no sign of the monkey. He chose to remain there because he was unsure of what to do. Jonathan lamented Monkey’s departure. Was he beaten up? Did he intend to go back home? After a while, Jonathan made the decision to return home.
Returning The Next Day
Jonathan went back to the tree the following day in search of a monkey’s indication. Once more, after a few hours, he still couldn’t locate the super glider. Jonathan made the decision to go home once more. Then, though, something extraordinary occurred.
It Jumped Out Of Nowhere
Unexpectedly, a super glider leaped out of the tree and began to soar. He encircled Jonathan before coming to rest on his shoulder. He remained perched on Jonathan’s shoulder while they cuddled. It was a monkey, Jonathan knew. They left for home again. But Jonathan sensed that something was off.
It Was Monkey
Did Monkey intend to go back home? If Monkey wasn’t better off in the wild, Jonathan questioned. Eventually, Jonathan and Monkey returned home. Jonathan realized they were going to play together for the last time as soon as they got going. Jonathan was going to release Monkey back into nature tomorrow.
Releasing Monkey
Jonathan took Monkey to the closest tree in his backyard the following morning. As he ascended the tree, he said goodbye to the monkey. He left after a short period of time. Jonathan was confident in his choice. Jonathan made the decision to go for a walk in the forest that evening.
Going On Walks
On Thursday evenings, Jonathan always took a stroll through the forest. But he was hoping to see his pal Monkey this time. Sadly, he failed to see the super glider. Jonathan set out for home in the hopes of running into his friend. Suddenly, he noticed something in his garden.
Monkey Made A Friend
Monkey was there! But when he looked more closely, he noticed another creature. Another super glider, was it? They appeared to be waiting for Jonathan to look after them. They entered right away when Jonathan flung open his door. Jonathan was ecstatic but also a little worried that the other super glider might be infected with the same virus as Monkey had. The following day, Jonathan made the decision to visit the vet again.
Returning To The Vet Once More
Jonathan had to visit the vet once more. With a little more attention and urgency this time. The veterinarian made the decision to act and began examining the super glider right away. With Monkey, Jonathan sat in the waiting area, hoping that his new friend wasn’t infected.
There Was Good News
When Jonathan was back in his office, the vet called. He had some wonderful news. There was no virus on the super glider. However, upon closer inspection, the veterinarian found little resemblance to Monkey. That gave him the impression that they were siblings. To aid his sister, the monkey went back to the wild. Jonathan was asked if he wanted to care for both animals by the veterinarian.
Monkey’s Best Friend
Jonathan immediately replied “yes” and returned home with both animals. They had very pleasant and healthy childhoods. Along with all of his previous creatures, Jonathan now had two new playmates.
