The baby monkey was afraid of being abandoned by mother so he always clung to her and felt insecure
In the high branches of the forest, a tiny baby monkey held tightly onto his mother’s fur. His small hands trembled as he clung to her belly, refusing to let go even for a moment. His eyes, wide with fear, constantly scanned the surroundings. The little one had developed a deep fear of being left behind—an insecurity that seemed far too heavy for his young heart to carry.
Ever since he was born, this baby monkey had sensed moments of distance from his mother. She would sometimes walk off with the group, leaving him to scramble after her with panic in his tiny legs. Even when she returned, the baby couldn’t forget the dread of feeling alone. That experience had scarred him. Now, even during sleep, he wrapped his little arms around her tightly, waking up often to make sure she was still there.
The mother, though loving, often appeared tired. Sometimes she gently pushed him away to groom herself or interact with others in the troop. But her baby’s desperate grip pulled at her heart, reminding her that he was still very young and vulnerable.
Other young monkeys were already beginning to explore on their own, playing and climbing with curiosity. But this little one just wasn’t ready. Every step away from his mother made him whimper and cry, fearing she might not come back. His insecurity ran deep, rooted in the fear of abandonment that no one his age should have to bear.
Day by day, with patience and time, his mother hoped to teach him that her love was strong and constant. But for now, the baby monkey found his only comfort in staying close, where he felt safest—wrapped in the warmth of his mother’s embrace.
