Years later, the king is out hunting and spies a green monkey looking at him strangely; he entices it to eat and takes it back to the palace. Soon later, the monkey escapes to the house of Zayda and her mother (the father having died).
In the future, the king ventures into the woods and encounters a green monkey staring at him with interest; he tempts it to consume food and returns it to the palace. Soon after, the monkey breaks free and makes its way to the home of Zayda and her mother (following the death of her father).
