Tiny Yuri was full of spunk and attitude—especially when it came to milk time.
While most baby monkeys waited patiently, Yuri liked to do things her own way. She squirmed, twisted, and sometimes even tried to push her siblings aside. Today, she climbed right into mom’s lap without waiting and started wiggling around while trying to drink.
But mom had enough.
With a sharp grunt and a firm finger pointed right at her nose, mom made her message loud and clear:
“NO. Not like this, Yuri!”
Yuri froze, eyes wide, lips still smacking from the milk. The room went quiet.
She wasn’t hurt—but she was definitely surprised.
Her tail curled nervously as she stared at mom’s finger. Mom didn’t yell. She didn’t push. But that single finger, pointed with purpose, felt like the biggest warning in the world.
The other babies watched closely. Even they knew this was a big moment for little Yuri.
She blinked. She slowly sat back. Her head dipped slightly—just enough to say,
“Okay… I understand.”
Mom relaxed, lowered her hand, and gently pulled Yuri closer again. This time, Yuri behaved. No pushing. No wiggling. Just soft sipping and warm cuddles.
It was a quiet lesson, but a powerful one.
Because even the sassiest little monkey knows that when mom points her finger—
it’s time to listen and learn.
And from that moment, Yuri tried her best to be more obedient, especially during milk time… though her cheeky spirit never disappeared completely.
