Little Yuri was sleeping quietly, her tiny body curled up in a soft, peaceful position. Everything seemed calm and safe.
But something wasn’t right.
While she slept, Yuri had the habit of sucking her whole hand, keeping it in her mouth for a long time. At first, it seemed harmless—just a way to comfort herself.
But this time—
It caused a problem.
When Mom checked on her, she noticed Yuri’s hand looked red and a bit swollen. The skin had become irritated from being in her mouth too long.
Yuri slowly woke up.
“Eee…”
She made a soft, uncomfortable sound.
Her tiny face showed slight pain as she looked at her hand. It didn’t feel good anymore.
Mom quickly understood.
She gently took Yuri’s hand and examined it carefully. Being very cautious, she cleaned the area and made sure it was safe from infection.
Yuri stayed quiet.
She didn’t resist—she trusted Mom.
Mom then softly applied soothing care to the irritated skin, helping reduce the discomfort. She held Yuri close, making sure she felt calm and protected.
The little monkey leaned into her.
Even though her hand hurt a little, she felt safe again.
From that moment, Mom kept a closer eye on her sleeping habits, making sure Yuri wouldn’t keep her whole hand in her mouth for too long again.
For little Yuri, it was a small but important lesson—and with Mom’s care, she would heal gently and safely.
