Tiny Quinn was exploring when she suddenly froze.
Right in front of her—a baby monkey stared back!
She gasped. Who was that?!
The baby moved when she moved.
Quinn’s little fur stood up. Her tail twitched.
“Eeeek!!” she shrieked, jumping back.
The other baby monkeys turned to look.
Jueur laughed. “Quinn, that’s just a mirror!”
But Quinn wasn’t convinced.
She peeked again—the baby was still there!
Quinn puffed up, trying to look big. “Stay back!!”
She swiped her tiny hand—the baby swiped too!
She screamed, running in circles! “It’s following me!!”
Mom walked over, trying not to laugh. “Oh, Quinn, that’s YOU!”
Quinn blinked. Her?
Mom picked her up and brought her closer to the mirror.
Quinn stared hard. She lifted one hand—so did the baby.
Her little eyes widened.
OH.
She touched the mirror. It was smooth.
Jueur giggled. “See? It’s just your reflection!”
Quinn sighed, embarrassed.
But then, she tilted her head and smiled.
The baby in the mirror smiled back.
Quinn giggled.
Maybe this new “friend” wasn’t so scary after all.
