It was a quiet morning when an old man was walking along the riverbank, enjoying the soft breeze and peaceful sounds of nature. But suddenly, he heard a tiny, desperate cry coming from nearby.
Curious and concerned, he followed the sound, walking carefully along the muddy edge of the water. Then, to his shock, he saw a tiny baby monkey, soaked and shivering, stuck in the mud!
The poor baby was covered in dirt, her tiny hands weakly trying to pull herself out. She was crying softly, her big eyes filled with fear and sadness. It was clear she had been left all alone, abandoned in this muddy place with no one to help.
The old man’s heart broke at the sight. “Oh, you poor little one,” he whispered gently. Without wasting a second, he stepped carefully into the mud, reaching out his hands.
At first, the baby monkey was scared, trying to move away, but she was too weak. Slowly, the old man spoke softly to her, “It’s okay, little baby, I’m here to help you.”
Finally, he scooped her up into his arms, holding her close to his chest. She was shivering from the cold mud and fear, but as he stroked her gently, she began to calm down.
He took her home, gave her a warm bath, and wrapped her in a soft blanket. The baby monkey snuggled into him, finally feeling safe for the first time.
From that day on, the old man became her hero — her new family. And she never had to feel abandoned or scared again.
