Deep in the quiet forest, where the air smelled of rain and leaves, a baby monkey cried alone. His soft, weak cries echoed between the trees — a sound full of fear and pain. A villager had taken him from his mother, keeping him tied and frightened. The tiny creature’s fur was dirty, and his little eyes looked lost, as if he was asking the world, “Where is my mom?”
One day, Dad — a kind-hearted rescuer — came to the village after hearing about a baby monkey in trouble. When he saw the trembling little one in the corner, his heart broke instantly. The baby’s body was thin, his hands cold, and his eyes filled with sadness.
Dad slowly approached, speaking softly, “It’s okay, little one… I’m here to help you.” He gently untied the rope and lifted the weak baby into his arms. The baby clung to his shirt immediately, feeling warmth for the first time in days. It was as if he knew — he was finally safe.
The trip home was long, but Dad kept the baby close to his chest, wrapping him in a towel. The baby stopped crying and fell asleep, trusting his new protector completely. When they reached home, Dad cleaned his wounds, gave him warm milk, and held him until he stopped shaking.
From that moment on, the baby monkey had a new beginning — no longer a captive, but a loved member of the family. Dad named him Kito, meaning “hope.”
Now, Kito plays freely, climbing small branches and smiling with his sparkling eyes. The forest once took his peace away — but love brought it back.
