Little A Tong was feeling very emotional today.
The tiny baby monkey was sitting on the stairs when Mom stepped away for a moment.
At first, A Tong watched her leave.
His little face slowly changed.
Huge pout.
Watery eyes.
Then—
“AHHHHH!”
A Tong burst into super loud crying.
The emotional little monkey sat on the stairway kicking his tiny feet and waving his little hands dramatically.
Poor baby could not believe Mom had walked away.
“MAMAAA!”
He shouted as loudly as he could, hoping Mom would come back immediately.
The longer he waited, the bigger the tantrum became.
Tiny tears rolled down his cheeks.
His little body shook with frustration.
No toys mattered.
No distractions helped.
A Tong only wanted Mom’s attention.
Finally—
Mom heard the dramatic cries and returned.
The moment A Tong saw her, he stretched both arms forward and cried even louder, asking to be picked up.
Mom gently lifted the emotional little monkey into her arms.
Instant relief.
The loud screaming slowly turned into tiny sniffles.
The tears stopped.
And the angry pout disappeared.
Soon, A Tong was cuddled safely against Mom’s chest, feeling calm and happy once again.
Because sometimes, for a tiny baby monkey—
a few moments without Mom can feel like forever.
