Under the warm sunlight of the temple yard, Baby Monkey Anissa clung tightly to her mother’s soft belly. Her tiny eyes shone with love and safety whenever she looked up at her mom — the strongest and most caring mother in their world. Everyone around could see why she was called “Mother Number One.” She protected her baby fiercely, loved her endlessly, and taught her every small lesson with patience.
But life in the monkey troop was not always peaceful. One morning, while Anissa tried to play near the old stone steps, a big male monkey suddenly approached and frightened her. The poor baby squealed and ran back to her mom, trembling in fear. Without hesitation, Mother rushed forward, pushing away the threat with loud warning calls. Her bravery made all the other monkeys step back — no one dared to challenge a mother’s heart.
Still, after the danger passed, little Anissa cried softly in her mother’s arms. Her tiny hands clutched her mother’s fur as if afraid to let go. The moment was touching — Mother gently patted her baby, kissed her head, and whispered comfort in monkey language. It was a picture of pure love and sacrifice.
Though Anissa was small and pitiful, she had the world’s greatest protector — her mother. Every tear she shed was met with warmth, every fear met with strength. Together they showed that a mother’s love is the number one force in the world — powerful, kind, and unbreakable. Even when pain or danger came, Mother’s heart stayed strong for her baby. And that’s why Mother truly deserves the title
