The afternoon was calm, and the baby monkeys were playing on the wooden bed. Yuri sat peacefully, holding a small toy, chewing on it happily. Minea, always a bit moody, sat nearby, watching Yuri with narrowed eyes.
For some reason, Minea was already irritated. Maybe it was because Yuri had been getting more attention from their mom earlier. Or maybe Minea just wanted to pick a fight.
Without warning, Minea stomped over and snatched the toy right from Yuri’s hands.
“EEEH!” Yuri cried out, reaching to take it back.
But Minea wasn’t done. She bared her tiny teeth and bit Yuri’s arm—not too hard, but enough to make Yuri yelp in shock.
Yuri’s eyes filled with tears as he let out a high-pitched scream. “Maaa!” he called out, hoping Mom would come and stop the attack.
But before their mom could even react, Minea pushed Yuri’s head hard, making him lose balance and fall backward on the bed!
THUMP!
Yuri sat there, stunned for a moment before bursting into loud, dramatic sobs.
Hearing the chaos, their mom rushed over. “Minea! What are you doing?!” she gasped, scooping up poor Yuri and checking his head.
Minea, realizing she might be in trouble, quickly turned away, pretending she had done nothing wrong. But her guilty little face gave her away.
Their mom sighed. “No fighting, Minea. Be gentle with Yuri.” She gave a small pat on Minea’s head, trying to calm her down.
Yuri sniffled, hugging his mom tightly while throwing a glare at Minea. Meanwhile, Minea sat grumpily, still unwilling to admit she had done anything wrong.
Even after the fight, both babies would soon forget their anger and be playing together again—just like always. But for now, it was Yuri’s turn to get all of Mom’s cuddles!
