Baby Monkey Martin Was So Hungry He Asked for Milk—But Got Knocked Down Instead
Poor little baby monkey Martin was so hungry, his tiny tummy growled as he stumbled toward his mother. With wide eyes and soft cries, he reached out his small hands and gently tugged at her fur, asking for milk like he always did.
But today… something went wrong.
Instead of cuddling him or letting him nurse, Mama Monkey seemed irritated. Maybe she was tired, or maybe something had upset her earlier. When Martin clung closer and squeaked louder for milk, she turned suddenly—and with a sharp movement, knocked him down to the ground.
Little Martin rolled a bit and let out a surprised yelp. His tiny body shook, not just from the fall, but from the shock of being pushed away by the one he trusted most. He didn’t understand why Mama had done that. All he wanted was a warm drink and a safe cuddle.
He sat there, eyes watery, hugging his knees, his lips trembling. Nearby, older monkeys played, unaware of Martin’s sadness. A few moments later, Mama turned and looked at him. Her expression softened. Perhaps she realized her reaction was too harsh.
Slowly, she came over, pulled Martin gently into her arms, and began grooming him. Still scared but comforted by her touch, Martin tucked his head into her chest. Finally, Mama lifted him, and with a quiet grunt, allowed him to nurse. His tears dried as he suckled, safe once again.
The jungle can be tough, but little Martin learned something big that day: even when moments are rough, a mother’s love always finds its way back.
