A young ape-man learns what love and loss feel like
Tarzan of the Apes is a grown youth who still plays like a child. His old playmate Teeka is the only ape who still wants to romp, and one afternoon he sees how beautiful she is. The feeling is new, and it makes him hate his smooth brown skin.
Then the bull ape Taug sits close to Teeka, and Tarzan challenges him. Teeka enjoys the quarrel and taunts them both. A panther named Sheeta interrupts the fight, and Tarzan saves her with a long throw of his grass rope, then faces the cat alone with his father's hunting knife.
Teeka chooses Tarzan, then drifts back to Taug once Tarzan is out hunting. Hurt and confused, Tarzan sees a pattern in the whole jungle, where every creature has a mate who looks like itself. He rescues Taug from a village trap anyway, and he sends him back to Teeka. His words show a boy becoming aware that he is a man, and alone.
