In the warm afternoon, little Jula sat on the wooden floor near the doorway, happily playing with a piece of cloth. She was enjoying her quiet time, but suddenly, her older sister, Sovanny, came running towards her with mischief in her eyes.
Before Jula could react, Sovanny reached out and grabbed a fistful of her soft fur. Then—pull! Jula’s tiny head jerked backward as Sovanny yanked her hair with all her strength. A sharp, painful cry burst from Jula’s lips.
“WAHHH!! MOMMY!!” Jula screamed, tears rolling down her chubby cheeks. Her tiny hands desperately tried to free herself, but Sovanny held on tightly, refusing to let go.
Hearing the heartbreaking cry, their mom rushed over in a panic. “Sovanny! Stop it!” she shouted, her voice filled with concern. But Sovanny, stubborn as ever, only pulled harder, making Jula wail even louder.
Their mom quickly reached down, grabbing Sovanny’s little hands and prying them away from Jula’s fur. “That’s enough! You can’t hurt your sister like that!” she scolded firmly.
Jula, still sobbing, immediately ran into her mom’s arms, burying her wet face into her chest. Her tiny body trembled as she hiccupped between cries. “Mommy… she pulled my hair!” she whimpered.
Sovanny pouted, crossing her arms. She wasn’t sorry at all. But when Mom gave her a serious look, she knew she was in trouble.
Mom sighed and gently stroked Jula’s head. “It’s okay, sweetheart. I’m here.” Then, turning to Sovanny, she said, “No more being rough with your sister. You have to be kind.”
Sovanny huffed but finally nodded. Jula, still sniffling, peeked at her sister. Maybe next time, Sovanny wouldn’t be so mean… at least, she hoped so!
