Chamroeun has always been a good little monkey, and today he proved just how obedient he can be. Mom placed a small plate of food in front of him and gently told him to wait. Instead of rushing in or grabbing quickly, Chamroeun sat patiently, his tiny hands resting beside the plate, his big eyes fixed on the delicious food.
But patience wasn’t easy for him. The smell of the food made his tummy growl, and his excitement grew stronger with every passing second. He shifted a little, his tail flicking and his lips smacking as if he could already taste it. Still, he held back, waiting just as Mom had taught him.
Then, the moment he had been waiting for arrived—Mom walked closer. Suddenly, Chamroeun couldn’t contain himself anymore. His little body shook with joy, and he let out a high-pitched scream of pure excitement. It wasn’t anger or impatience—it was his way of saying, “Mom, you’re here! Can I eat now?”
His whole face lit up, his eyes sparkling as he looked up at her with love and anticipation. That mix of obedience and excitement made the moment so heartwarming. Chamroeun wasn’t just hungry—he was eager to share the experience with Mom, as if her presence made his meal taste even better.
When Mom finally gave him the sign, Chamroeun dove in happily, chewing loudly and joyfully while still glancing at her with grateful eyes. It was a simple moment, but one that showed his sweet bond with Mom. For Chamroeun, food is happiness, but Mom’s love makes it complete.
