This is an unbelievable , but true story.
In 1986, five year old Levan Merritt fell twenty feet into the gorilla enclosure of England’s Jersey Zoo.
As parents and onlookers cried out for help, a full grown male silverback named Jambo placed himself between the motionless boy and the other gorillas.
Then, he began to gently stroke the child’s back.
When Levan began to cry, Jambo led the other gorillas into their own enclosure as zoo-keepers and an ambulance came to the rescue. (Our Daily Bread)
The animal world will always be somewhat mysterious to us, but this story teaches us that the animals we fear and hunt down are more capable of good than we give them credit for.
The same applies to people.
We have a tendency to fear or dislike entire groups of people based upon their color or ethnicity.
We must treat every person based upon their own merits.
