Mary is known for being clingy, but when it comes to food, her temper can rise higher than ever. This morning, she wanted her milk immediately, but when Mom didn’t feed her right away, Mary’s little patience broke into a storm.
She planted herself on the floor, opened her mouth wide, and shouted with all her tiny strength. Her cries were so loud that the whole room echoed, her voice filled with both anger and sadness. She stomped her little hands, shook her head, and even kicked her feet in protest. It was clear—Mary would not accept waiting.
Her big eyes were wet with tears, her lips trembling between screams. Every sound carried one demand: “Feed me now, Mom!” The longer she waited, the louder her voice grew, turning into a super temper tantrum. She even threw herself back for a moment, showing her frustration in the most dramatic way possible.
Mom, though patient, could see how upset Mary was. She gently lifted her, rocking her softly while preparing the bottle. But Mary’s cries didn’t stop until the warm milk finally touched her lips. The instant she began drinking, her anger melted away. The loud screams became quiet hums of satisfaction, her tears turning into calm breaths.
In that moment, the stubborn, angry Mary was gone—replaced by a peaceful baby, clinging happily to her mom’s chest with her tummy full.
Mary’s story shows just how deeply baby monkeys depend on their mom’s care. For her, food isn’t just milk—it’s comfort, love, and safety all in one.
