Kindness comes in many forms. It may just be sharing your fruit with a good friend (which we would like to think is what's happening in this illustration!).

Colour illustration a malbrouck sitting on a branch and holding a piece of fruit. It appears to be smiling rather sweetly. Next to the malbrouck is a colour illustration of a mandril, who is sitting on the ground with its knees pulled to its chest, one arm resting on its knees. It appears to be looking rather hopefully at the piece of fruit.
