Tiny baby monkey Matin looked heartbroken today. With big round eyes full of confusion, he sat all alone on the ground, gently trembling. His small hands clutched a piece of dried leaf while he softly whimpered. Just moments earlier, his mother had walked away, climbing up a tall tree without taking him along. For a little baby like Matin, being left alone is more than scary — it’s heartbreaking.
Matin still doesn’t understand why his mom left. He tried to follow her, but his steps were slow, unbalanced, and weak. Too young to climb trees, he could only watch from below as she disappeared into the high branches. The fear in his eyes said everything. He didn’t know if she would come back soon or if he’d been forgotten. He sat quietly at first, but then the sadness grew too much to hold in. His soft cries became louder, calling out desperately for his mother.
Nearby, other monkeys played and moved around, but no one came to comfort Matin. His tiny body curled into a ball, and he rocked gently as if trying to hug himself. Every little sound made him look up, hoping to see her face — but it wasn’t her.
This is a moment many baby monkeys face — moments of separation that feel like forever. For Matin, the world felt too big, too lonely. His mom might have just gone to find food or a safe place to rest, but to Matin, it felt like she had left him forever.
We hope Mama Monkey comes back soon. Little Matin’s heart is too small to carry such a heavy sadness. His tears are real, and his tiny cries are full of longing.
