Tiny Jasmine sat on the ground, her big eyes scanning the area.
Where was Mom?
She had seen her leave a while ago, but now it felt like forever.
Her little heart squeezed.
Her tiny lips quivered.
Then—
“WAAAAAH!!”
Jasmine threw herself on the ground, kicking and crying!
She rolled side to side, screaming.
“Moooooooom!! Come back!!”
The other baby monkeys stared.
Jueur whispered, “Oh no, Jasmine’s having a meltdown!”
Minea giggled. “She’s so dramatic!”
But Jasmine didn’t care. She kept screaming, pounding her tiny fists on the floor.
Then—soft footsteps.
She froze.
Her ears twitched.
A familiar scent filled the air…
MOM!!
Jasmine jumped up, running at full speed!
She leaped into Mom’s arms, wrapping her tiny fingers around her fur.
Mom held her close, rubbing her back. “Oh, my little baby, I’m here now.”
Jasmine sniffled, still clinging tight.
Mom kissed her head. “I would never leave you, sweet girl.”
Jasmine sighed deeply.
Her tears were gone.
Her heart felt safe again.
