Under the warm afternoon sun, Jenny sat beside her mother, watching closely as she prepared to care for Little Titas. The tiny baby monkey lay on a soft cloth, his curious eyes blinking up at them, unaware of what was about to happen.
Mom gently opened a small jar of Desitin cream, the soothing ointment meant to protect Titas’s delicate skin. Jenny, eager to help, leaned in, observing every movement.
“See, Jenny,” Mom said softly, dipping her finger into the cream, “we don’t need too much. Just a little, and we spread it gently.”
Titas, feeling the cool touch of the cream, wiggled slightly but didn’t resist. He had experienced this before, and he trusted Mom’s careful hands. Jenny, however, was fascinated.
“Can I try, Mom?” she asked excitedly.
Mom smiled and nodded, handing Jenny a small amount of the cream. Carefully, Jenny placed her tiny finger on Titas’s skin, mimicking her mother’s gentle strokes. Titas let out a small sigh, enjoying the comfort, making Jenny giggle with joy.
“You’re doing great,” Mom encouraged. “Taking care of the little ones means being gentle and patient.”
Jenny felt proud. She was learning something important—how to care for those who needed her.
As they finished, Titas curled up, feeling soothed and comfortable. Jenny clapped her hands, excited about her new skill. Mom smiled warmly at her, knowing that this small moment of learning was a step toward responsibility and love.
