Little Bebe, the baby monkey, was feeling extra emotional today. She had played all morning, chased leaves, climbed little branches, and even shared a snack—but something was missing. Her heart felt a little heavy, and she didn’t know why.
She looked around, but Mom was busy in the distance. That’s when it hit her—she needed a hug. Right now.
Without a sound, Bebe slowly lay down on the floor. Her tiny arms stretched out, and big teardrops welled up in her eyes. A soft, sad cry escaped her lips, and her little face showed nothing but pure longing.
She didn’t want toys, or snacks, or games. She just wanted Mom.
Anyone passing by would’ve thought she was tired. But those who knew Bebe well could see—she was waiting. Waiting for that one special cuddle to make everything better.
It wasn’t long before Mom heard the soft cry. She turned around, and her heart melted at the sight of her baby lying on the ground, eyes wide and watery.
“Oh, Bebe…” she whispered, rushing over.
The moment Mom scooped her up, Bebe clung to her tightly, wrapping her tiny arms around her neck. She buried her face in Mom’s chest, letting out a quiet sigh of relief.
That’s all she needed—a hug to remind her she was safe, loved, and never alone.
Because for a baby like Bebe, sometimes the strongest feeling in the world is the simple need to be held. 🤗
