Little Alba, the tiny baby monkey, looked weak and frightened in the morning light. Her small body trembled as she searched for comfort from her mother, Anna. But Anna, confused and tired from the pressures of the troop, seemed distant. The bond between them, once warm and gentle, had grown fragile. Alba tried to reach out for a hug, yet the mother turned away, leaving the baby’s soft cries echoing through the forest.
The troop watched quietly as Alba sat alone under a tree, eyes full of tears. Hunger and loneliness weighed on her. Every moment felt endless—she just wanted warmth and love from the only one she trusted. When Anna finally looked back, something in her eyes changed. She walked slowly toward Alba, her heart touched by that tiny cry for care.
Anna pulled Alba close, wrapping her arms around her. Alba’s weak body relaxed in her mother’s embrace, her crying fading into soft breathing. The forest grew peaceful again.
This story reminds us that every little one—animal or human—needs patience and love, not anger. When compassion returns, healing begins, and broken hearts can be mended.
