Near the summit, they encountered a group of monkeys. One of the monkeys, curious and bold, snatched Tsega's small bag of food. Tsega was initially upset, but then she realized the monkey was only hungry. Instead of scolding the monkey, Tsega gently offered some of her food. The monkey, surprised by her kindness, shared the food with its family.
