Morning had just begun, but little baby monkey Kasky was already in a very bad mood. Sitting on the table, his tiny face looked upset and restless.
In front of him was a small water bottle.
Kasky grabbed the bottle tightly with both little arms and hugged it close to his chest. But instead of drinking quietly, he suddenly started crying loudly.
“Eeee! Eeee!”
His sharp voice filled the room. Kasky shook his head and kicked his tiny feet while holding the bottle. It seemed like nothing could calm him down.
Mom looked over with concern.
“Kasky, what’s wrong?” she softly asked.
But the moody baby monkey only cried louder. His round eyes were full of tears as he squeezed the bottle even tighter. Sometimes he tried to sip the water, but then he stopped again and screamed in frustration.
Maybe he was still sleepy.
Maybe he was hungry.
Or maybe little Kasky simply wanted Mom’s attention.
Mom slowly walked closer and gently touched his back. But Kasky turned his face away and cried again, acting like a stubborn little baby.
Even though he was upset, he still refused to let go of the bottle.
Mom couldn’t help but smile a little at his dramatic behavior. She carefully picked him up while he was still hugging the bottle.
Kasky cried for a few more moments, his tiny hands still wrapped around it.
Then Mom softly hugged him against her chest.
Slowly, the loud cries began to fade. Kasky’s body relaxed as he felt the warmth and comfort he really wanted.
Soon the noisy baby monkey became quiet.
Still holding his bottle, Kasky rested peacefully in Mom’s arms, finally feeling calm again.
