The afternoon sun hung low in the sky as little Minea sat alone under a tree, her tiny body trembling with frustration. Her usual playful energy had completely vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sadness that she just couldn’t hide.
Her best friend, Yuri, was nowhere to be seen. Yuri had always been by her side—playing, cuddling, and even getting into mischief together. But today, Yuri was taken away by their caretaker for a bath, leaving Minea all alone.
At first, Minea tried to be patient. She sat quietly, waiting for her friend to return. But as the minutes passed, her emotions boiled over.
Suddenly, a loud, ear-piercing scream filled the air. Minea threw herself onto the ground, kicking her tiny legs and flailing her arms dramatically. Tears welled up in her big round eyes as she screeched again, demanding for Yuri to come back.
The other baby monkeys turned to look at her, startled by her dramatic tantrum. Some of them tried to comfort her, but Minea wanted no part of it. She pushed them away, shaking her head furiously.
“Where is Yuri?! I want Yuri!” her cries seemed to say.
Her caretaker rushed over, scooping her up to soothe her. But Minea was in full meltdown mode—she wriggled, whined, and even tried to grab onto their clothes as if pulling herself toward where she believed Yuri might be.
Finally, after what felt like forever, Yuri was brought back, her fur still damp from her bath. The moment Minea saw her, she leaped forward, grabbing Yuri in a tight hug.
Yuri, still confused, let out a small squeak, but Minea didn’t care—she just held on for dear life, refusing to let go. The tantrum was over, but the love between these two little friends was stronger than ever. 💕🐒
