Early in the morning, when the yard was still quiet and fresh with dew, a tiny baby monkey sat gently on a wide banana leaf spread across the ground. The leaf was cool and green, almost like a natural mat prepared just for her. She looked small and delicate sitting there, legs folded carefully, tail resting beside her. In front of her lay a few fresh grapes, round and shiny, placed there with love.
At first, she hesitated. Her tiny fingers reached out slowly, touching a grape as if testing it. She lifted it, turned it around, and sniffed it with curiosity. The yard was peaceful — birds chirping softly, leaves moving gently in the breeze. Feeling safe, she took a small bite. The sweet juice surprised her, and her eyes widened with delight. She chewed slowly, enjoying every moment, as if this was the best treat she had ever tasted.
She sat very properly, calm and focused, unlike her usual playful or moody self. Juice dripped slightly onto the banana leaf, but she didn’t mind. Between bites, she looked around the yard, watching ants crawl nearby and butterflies pass above her head. Everything felt calm, warm, and safe.
As she finished one grape, she reached for another with more confidence. Her movements became steadier, her chewing slower and more relaxed. Anyone watching could feel their heart soften at the sight. There was no crying, no fear — only quiet happiness.
When she was finally full, she leaned back slightly, licking her lips and blinking sleepily. The banana leaf, the grapes, and the peaceful yard created a moment of pure innocence. It was a simple scene, but one filled with comfort, care, and gentle joy — a small reminder of how little it takes to make a baby feel happy.
