Little baby Pow was supposed to enjoy his bath time, splashing gently in the warm water while daddy carefully washed his fur. But instead of laughter or playful splashes, Pow’s tiny face turned pale with fear. His wide eyes filled with worry, and his little hands clutched the edge of the tub tightly.
Daddy had pointed his finger at him, trying to give a gentle warning to stay still and behave. But to baby Pow, that gesture felt so big and frightening. He didn’t understand discipline yet—he only felt the sudden change in tone and expression. To his little heart, it was enough to make him tremble.
Pow’s lip quivered, and soon, pitiful cries spilled from his mouth. The water rippled as his body shook, his small frame filled with both fear and confusion. He wanted comfort, not warnings—he wanted warmth, not sternness. His eyes kept glancing toward Daddy, hoping for a softer smile, a gentle hand to remind him everything was okay.
The sight of him, so vulnerable and soaked with both water and tears, was enough to melt anyone’s heart. Even though Daddy only meant to guide him, the baby’s reaction showed just how fragile and sensitive little monkeys are. They don’t understand lessons the way adults do; instead, they feel everything deeply, carrying each gesture as either love or fear.
After seeing Pow’s pitiful cries, Daddy’s stern face softened. Slowly, he reached out, scooped the trembling baby into his arms, and held him close. The moment Pow felt that embrace, his cries lessened, his breath steadied, and his heart began to calm.
Bath time ended not with discipline, but with comfort—reminding everyone that even the smallest warnings can feel enormous to a baby monkey’s tender heart
