Yuri, the adorable baby monkey, was having one of the most peaceful afternoons of her young life. The sun shimmered across the pond like diamonds, and her mom gently lowered her into the cool water for a relaxing bath. Yuri loved bath time—she splashed, kicked her tiny legs, and giggled every time the water tickled her belly. Her mom carefully held her close, making sure she felt safe and warm.
The pond was quiet, surrounded by tall grass swaying in the light breeze. Dragonflies danced above the surface, and birds chirped from the branches above. Everything seemed calm and ordinary, and Yuri was content, resting her little hands on her mom’s arm while enjoying the bath.
Then something happened that neither of them expected.
From beneath the surface, a shadow slowly moved closer, creating a soft ripple in the water. Yuri didn’t notice at first—she was too busy blowing bubbles—but her mom suddenly stopped washing her and stared ahead. Just a few feet away, a massive fish, big enough to shock even an adult monkey, rose toward the surface. Its shiny scales glimmered under the sun as it drifted closer, curious about the new visitors in its pond.
Yuri finally spotted it and froze. Her eyes widened into giant circles, her mouth opened, and she grabbed onto her mom with all her tiny strength. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to scream, cry, or just stare. The giant fish wasn’t threatening—it seemed more curious than anything—but for a baby so small, it looked like a sea monster.
Her mom held her tightly, whispering in soothing tones as the fish circled calmly and then slowly drifted away, disappearing back into the depths.
Yuri took a deep breath, still shocked—but now with a story she would never forget.
Bath time had turned into a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
