In the cozy corner of the house, baby monkey A Tong was feeling extra playful. The morning sun poured in through the window, warming the tiled floor where he liked to jump and roll around.
But today, he wasn’t chasing toys or climbing his favorite chair.
No — today, A Tong had questions.
He stood up suddenly — not on all fours like usual, but on two little legs, wobbling like a tiny toddler. His tail helped him balance as he looked down with intense focus.
What was that?
He leaned forward, then stood up straight again, tilting his head. His little hands reached out, poking gently at his private parts, then quickly pulling back. His eyes widened like he’d made a shocking discovery. He looked around the room, then back at himself, completely puzzled.
Then he did it again.
The humans nearby burst out laughing — not mocking, just surprised and amused at how seriously little A Tong was inspecting himself. He made little squeaky sounds, as if talking to his body. He squatted, stood up again, then spun in a tiny circle, tail flying.
“A Tong! What are you doing?” one of them chuckled.
But A Tong wasn’t done. He sat down dramatically, crossed one leg over the other like a tiny yogi, and kept investigating.
It was just another stage in a monkey’s life — pure curiosity, innocent and natural.
Eventually, A Tong yawned, scratched his belly, and crawled over to a soft pillow, curling up like nothing ever happened. His exploration was over… for today.
The humans shook their heads, still smiling.
