It was a big day — a tiny newborn baby monkey arrived at her new home. She was so small, her eyes barely open, and her soft fur still fluffy like a cloud. Everyone was excited to welcome her, but for this tiny baby, everything felt strange and scary.
As mom gently picked her up and cuddled her close, the little one let out a soft but sad cry. “Ee-ee-ee!” she squeaked, her tiny body trembling. No matter how much mom stroked her back and whispered sweet words, the baby monkey kept crying, her tiny hands trying to hold on to anything familiar — but there was nothing she knew.
Her little heart missed her old home, and she didn’t understand this new place with new faces. She refused to drink her milk at first, turning her head away and crying louder, as if saying, “I don’t want to be here!”
Mom stayed patient, holding her close against her chest, letting the baby feel her heartbeat. Slowly, mom rocked her back and forth, humming softly. “It’s okay, baby, you are safe now,” she whispered.
After a long time, the baby monkey stopped crying for a moment, peeking up at mom with her tiny eyes. Mom smiled gently, offering her warm milk again. This time, the little monkey took a small sip, still unsure but a little calmer.
By the end of the day, she snuggled into mom’s arms, still nervous but no longer crying. Mom kissed her tiny head and promised to love her forever.
Her first day was hard, but soon, this new home would be filled with love, safety, and lots of cuddles
