Minea was always full of energy, but today, she had taken her mischief a little too far. The tiny baby monkey had been teasing Yuri all morning—pulling her tail, snatching her snacks, and even pushing her while she tried to nap. At first, Yuri had ignored it, but when Minea yanked her ear, Yuri let out a loud squeal of frustration.
Hearing the commotion, Mom quickly turned her head, her eyes narrowing as she saw the trouble Minea was causing. Without hesitation, she marched over, her presence alone making the other baby monkeys pause in silence.
Minea, realizing she had been caught, immediately tried to look innocent. She clung to the nearest branch, pretending to be busy with absolutely nothing. But Mom wasn’t fooled.
With a firm but gentle grip, Mom pulled Minea close, looking straight into her wide, guilty eyes. “Enough, Minea,” her gaze seemed to say. Minea gulped. She had seen this look before—it meant trouble.
Yuri, still sniffling from the teasing, watched as Mom lightly tapped Minea’s little hand, a soft but clear sign of discipline. The other baby monkeys watched with anticipation, waiting to see how Minea would react.
Minea let out a tiny, dramatic squeal, holding her hand as if the world had just ended. She pouted, trying to win sympathy, but Mom wasn’t giving in. Instead, she made Minea sit down quietly beside her while she gently comforted Yuri, showing her that kindness was always rewarded.
After a few moments, Minea, feeling guilty, slowly scooted closer to Yuri. She hesitated, then gently placed a hand on Yuri’s back. It was a silent apology, one that Yuri accepted with a soft blink.
Mom sighed but smiled, watching as the two little troublemakers sat together peacefully. Lesson learned—for now.
