The early morning sun shone softly through the bamboo window, warming the quiet little room where baby monkey Nana lived. But peace didn’t last long. Just a few minutes after waking up, the tiny monkey’s tummy began to rumble — and everyone knew what that meant.
At first, it was just a small whimper. Nana rubbed her eyes, looked around, and squeaked softly. But when she didn’t see her bottle of milk right away, her face changed completely. Her mouth opened wide, and she let out a loud, demanding scream that echoed through the house.
“Alright, alright, little one, Daddy’s coming!” her caretaker called, hurrying to the kitchen. But Nana wasn’t patient — not even for a second. She jumped up and down, her tiny arms reaching toward the door, eyes full of desperation. The sound of her cries grew louder and sharper, like a tiny siren that wouldn’t stop until her wish was granted.
Her little tail flicked back and forth. She pressed her tiny palms against the floor, shaking her head and shouting again. She didn’t want attention — she wanted milk, and she wanted it now.
Finally, Daddy returned, holding the small warm bottle. The moment Nana saw it, her cries changed from anger to excitement. Her body wiggled, and she reached both hands forward, eyes shining with relief. Daddy chuckled softly. “There, there, my little hungry girl,” he said, sitting down beside her.
As soon as the bottle touched her lips, silence filled the room. Nana began to drink eagerly, sucking fast, her eyes half-closing in contentment. The milk soothed her, filling her tiny belly with warmth. She made small, happy sounds between gulps, her earlier screams now replaced by peaceful hums.
When she finished, she gave a little hiccup and licked her lips, still holding onto the bottle as if afraid it might disappear. Daddy wiped her mouth gently and smiled. “All done, my loud princess.”
Nana yawned, already sleepy again. She curled up on Daddy’s lap, her tiny hands resting on her tummy, completely calm now.
The room that once echoed with cries was quiet again — just the soft breath of a full, happy baby monkey dreaming after her morning milk.
