Queen Sheba and The Monkey - Mothers Love Has No Equals

Once upon a time, there was a queen named Sheba who lived in a kingdom. Nearby, there was a jungle. Because Sheba really liked little ones, people called her the queen of the jungle. She had a special fondness for baby animals. One day, she declared, "I want all the animals to come to my palace with their babies. I will give a prize to the animal with the most beautiful baby."

All the animals gathered at Sheba's palace with their babies. Sheba started looking at all of them. When she came to a monkey, she remarked, "Oh, what an not-so-pretty baby! You won't get the prize."

The baby monkey began to cry. The mommy monkey said, "The queen doesn't understand how wonderful you are! I don't need her prize. You, my dear child, are my treasure. You mean more to me than anything in the whole sky."

The lesson to learn: A mother's love is incredibly special.
