The Battle between Crows and Monkeys

There is this giant tree presumably a peepal in front of the apartment I live in. The tree by it’s size is home to a flock of crows. The crows nest in the trees, hatch the young ones and train them fly and grow. You could see squirrels jumping around and parrots doing a flyby in the early mornings. Everything seems alright and looks like a perfect community. Well, nothing in this world is perfect or ideal and God never taught the creatures to always co exist and live a peaceful life.
To strike an imbalance to this perfectly balanced ecosystem comes a mob of monkeys every morning (…and sometimes evenings). I am not certain if they come to eat the eggs, taste the fruits, or threaten the crows or just simply to create a chaos to maintain the order in this world.
What follows after is a drama for few hours, a war between the monkeys and crows. The crows never give up on their family, they are Davids against Goliaths in this unfair yet a necessary battle. To my surprise the crows prevail. They fly over the monkeys and crawl and screech and fly very close over them to threaten. These monkeys are no easy guys, they carelessly reject and humiliate the threatenings and pleas of the crows. They try to get rid of the crows by rigorously shaking the branches. Yet the crows have to sustain and they do, because it is their families they have sworn to protect.
I wonder if at all they get tired of the fight and quarrel. Finally, lost his temper the Man comes to the terrace as he always have, to put an end to the chaos happening over his roof which hosts the Giant tree. He takes up twigs, branches, stones whatever that fits him and throws them up at monkeys. Even the monkeys have be afraid of their superiors in their family tree. Monkeys trying to hide between the branches or reaching the top to escape the man’s sight, fail eventually to give up the battle and flee the tree.
Now relieved and relaxed, the crows prepare themselves to gather the day’s bread and carry out their routine expecting the next day’s arrival to be prepared and fight the monkeys.
And I go back to my world, getting prepared for the day to fight the battle that is upon me.
