A heartbreaking and shocking moment happened today in the temple area when little MOKA, the curious baby monkey, accidentally fell from a height of nearly 15 meters. MOKA had been playfully climbing around the old temple walls, full of energy and joy, unaware of the danger below. The tall ancient structure, covered with moss and cracks, suddenly became a risky playground for the small and innocent creature.
While chasing after another young monkey, MOKA slipped on the edge of a stone ledge. In an instant, he lost his balance and tumbled down. The crowd gasped as the tiny body hit the ground hard. For a few seconds, there was total silence — then came the most painful cry. The sound of his weak, trembling voice broke everyone’s heart.
MOKA lay still for a moment, his eyes blinking slowly as if he could not believe what had just happened. His little chest rose and fell in pain. Soon, his mother rushed to him, screaming and holding him tightly in her arms. She touched his head, checked his body, and tried to comfort him with gentle kisses. It was a deeply emotional scene that showed a mother’s endless love and worry.
Fortunately, after some minutes of rest, MOKA began to move slightly. He tried to sit up, though still shaking and weak. The temple troop surrounded him, watching with concern. Everyone could feel the warmth of family and care among these monkeys. MOKA’s story reminds us that even in their playful nature, these animals face real dangers — and that every little life deserves safety, love, and protection.
