Rio, the little pet baby monkey, had just finished his warm bottle of milk. His belly was full, and his tiny face wore the cutest satisfied smile. But Rio had no idea what was coming next. Mom gently scooped him up and carried him toward the small basin filled with warm water. The moment Rio saw it, his mood shifted.
Bath time was never his favorite. Even though the water was warm and the soap smelled sweet, Rio didn’t like getting wet after his meal. He clung to Mom’s arm tightly, his little hands gripping as if he could stop what was about to happen. Mom spoke softly, trying to calm him, but Rio’s round eyes were already narrowing in protest.
The first splash of water touched his fur, and Rio let out a sharp squeal. His tiny tail twitched in annoyance, and he began to wriggle. Mom tried to be quick, gently rubbing his soft fur, but Rio’s patience was running out. He slapped the water with his little hands, sending tiny droplets flying everywhere. His face scrunched up into the most dramatic pout, and his squeaks turned into loud cries of protest.
Mom chuckled softly, knowing this was just Rio’s way of complaining. She finished rinsing him, all while assuring him it would be over soon. Finally, she wrapped him in a warm, fluffy towel, drying his tiny body.
The moment he was dry and snuggled close, Rio’s anger started to fade. His cries turned into soft, sleepy hums, and his eyes slowly blinked with contentment. Still, the little boy made it clear with his grumpy expression—next time, bath time should not come right after milk
