It happened in just a flash — a loud crack! and the smell of burning in the air.
Little Moka, a playful young monkey, had been climbing too close to a live electric wire strung between two old buildings. She didn’t understand the danger. One touch… and the shock sent her flying.
She hit the ground hard.
At first, there was silence. Then came the whimper — weak, broken. Moka’s small body twitched as she tried to move. Her fur was scorched in places, her fingers trembling. The world around her spun, but her instincts screamed one thing:
Find Mom.
She dragged herself slowly across the dusty ground, her legs barely working. Every few steps, she collapsed, crying out in pain. “Ma… ma…” Her voice was so soft, it was almost lost in the wind.
But her eyes kept searching.
Her cries echoed through the alleyway where she had fallen, and finally — a sound returned. A familiar call from above.
Her mother.
The older monkey rushed down the tree, panic in her eyes. She reached Moka and held her close, wrapping her arms tightly around her baby, as if to shield her from the world.
Moka sobbed into her mother’s chest, finally safe, but still hurting.
Passersby noticed the scene and called for help. The rescue team arrived minutes later and gently lifted both mother and baby into a carrier.
At the animal clinic, Moka was treated for mild burns and shock trauma. She would need rest and care — but she would survive.
She had cried. She had crawled. She had searched.
And in the end… she had found the arms she trusted most.
