The Jungle Rescue - Sharon C. Williams
CHAPTER ONE
Help!
The cry echoed through the morning air. The voice was strong enough to wake Jasper up. He turned and found his brother standing at the entrance to their nest.
Willie?
I can’t figure out what direction it’s coming from. I don’t recognize the voice. Do you?
No, I don’t.
He walked over to stand beside him.
The screech rang out again.
Helppppppp!
He glanced in the direction of the nest his mother and sister lived in. No one stood at the entrance.
Did you see Mom and Piper at all?
They flew over to visit Charlie’s family. The troop has babies they want to go gaga over.
Gaga?
Their words, not mine. You know how women are.
Laughter briefly bubbled inside Jasper. Willie’s remark amused him.
How would he know how women are?
The cry for help returned to his thoughts.
Jasper, you thinking what I’m thinking?
That we should go check it out? Yes, we should. That second time, do you know where it came from?
Willie nodded. It sounded like it came from across the clearing, but I’m not sure.
Well, let’s start there. Maybe we’ll hear it again. Or someone along the way will have more information.
Okay, let’s do it.
The two of them took off, expecting to hear the plea again.
Help. Please, someone, help!
the voice cried, several minutes later.
Jasper and Willie flew toward the sound. Drawing closer, they came upon a crowd of their friends, family, and neighbors.
Animals were everywhere—on trees, branches, and close to several tree trunks.
They caught sight of their mother and sister, landing near them.
Nearby, Charlie’s mother and many members of their troops had gathered.
Their friend, George, the sloth, stood at the bottom of the tree he and his brother had landed on.
The scene spreading out before them was hard to take in. Trucks and humans were everywhere. The noise level was high. Some of the vehicles had cages of different sizes.
Several of the humans were standing around, holding nets and guns. Others walked around the area, looking up at the trees.
What they were looking for, Jasper didn’t know.
Mama, what are they doing?
a young monkey asked.
The breeze carried the voice amongst the crowd of observers.
Hush. Be quiet. The humans will hear you,
someone said.
Who called for help?
Jasper whispered to his mom.
We just got here,
she whispered back.
We saw some monkeys placed in the boxes on those trucks,
Piper answered, nodding in the vehicle’s direction that was the closest to them. Boxes, right, Mama?
More like cages, Piper.
Monkeys? Oh, no!
Jasper screeched.
Quiet!
someone hissed to the right of where he stood.
He grew silent.
Charlie, where is he? Has anyone seen him? Oh, no, not Charlie!
Willie whispered, his tone a little too loud.
The monkey’s absence made Jasper nervous. He turned, intent on approaching his friend’s mother.
Shush!
someone said from behind his brother.
Calm down, you two. No one knows for sure,
Sally whispered, eyeing her surroundings.
The cries for help had ceased.
Piper sniffled and sobbed softly. No one told her to hush.
Mama, what’s going to happen to them?
she asked.
We’ll talk about this at home. We need to leave.
The commotion lessened. The animals weren’t ready to make their way home yet.
Willie examined his surroundings. His eyes widened.
The humans were looking in their direction.
They’re looking at us,
he whispered.
The cries for help rang out once more.
The group grew quiet, causing the humans to return to what they’d been doing earlier.
One of the men clutched a long stick, hitting one of the
