In the Hindu epic Ramayana, Vali was the monkey-King of Kishkindha, a son of Indra and the elder brother of Sugriva.

 Re: Shvu Speaks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
After seeing blood emanating from the cave, the fearful sugrIva wrongly concluded that vAli had perished, and so he sealed the cave to keep the rAkshasa from coming out, and then left to assume the kingdom (thinking vAli to be dead).
sugrIva's act of assuming vAli dead could be characterized as foolish, or perhaps lacking in faith in his brother's strength.
That rAma did not help sugrIva for selfish reasons is amply born out by the fact that He did not beseech any other king for this assistance, despite His extensive travels.
