Heard Thunder… She Ran Home – Baby Monkey Cici
It was a peaceful afternoon, and Baby Monkey Luci was enjoying her time outside. She was exploring the yard, gently stepping over leaves and sniffing at little flowers. The breeze was soft, and everything felt calm. Luci looked completely relaxed, her tiny tail swaying as she walked around confidently.
Then it happened.
A loud BOOM echoed across the sky.
Thunder.
Luci froze in place.
Her whole body stiffened, and her eyes widened in shock. She looked up at the darkening sky, confused and scared. Another rumble followed, even louder than before. The sound felt too big for her tiny heart to handle.
Without thinking twice, she turned around and ran.
Her little hands and feet moved as fast as they could, scrambling across the ground. All her bravery from a few seconds ago disappeared instantly. She didn’t care about the leaves or the flowers anymore. She just wanted one thing — home.
Another crack of thunder rolled through the air, and Luci let out a small frightened squeak. She ran straight toward the door, her tiny face full of panic. Her ears flattened slightly, and her eyes searched desperately for Cici.
The moment she spotted Cici standing near the doorway, she rushed forward and clung tightly to her leg. It was as if she was saying, “Please don’t let the sky be angry at me!”
Cici gently bent down and picked her up. Luci immediately wrapped her arms around Cici’s neck, burying her little face into her shoulder. Even though another rumble sounded outside, Luci felt a bit safer now.
Inside the house, the thunder was still loud, but it didn’t feel as scary. Cici softly patted Luci’s back and whispered comforting words. Slowly, Luci peeked over Cici’s shoulder, watching the rain begin to fall outside the window.
She was still nervous, but being home made all the difference.
After a few minutes, her breathing slowed down. The tight grip around Cici’s neck loosened just a little. She realized she was safe. The thunder was just noise — loud and surprising, but it couldn’t reach her here.
Soon, Luci was sitting comfortably in Cici’s arms, wrapped in warmth and protection. The storm continued outside, but inside, everything was calm again.
From brave explorer to scared little baby in seconds — all because of one loud thunder.
But one thing was clear: no matter how scary the sky gets, Luci knows exactly where to run.
Home.
