Poor little Sica, the newborn baby monkey, cries her heart out again today. The gentle caretakers try to feed her milk powder, but Sica doesn’t understand why her beloved mother isn’t here anymore. Her tiny eyes fill with tears, her voice trembles, and she lets out heartbreaking screams that echo through the room. Every sound seems to call out — “Mama! Mama!” — as if she believes her mother will return any moment to comfort her.
Sica doesn’t like the strange taste of the milk powder. It’s nothing like her mother’s warm milk, filled with love and safety. The bottle feels unfamiliar, and no matter how gently the caretakers hold her, she can’t find that familiar heartbeat she used to rest against. Her small hands reach into the air, searching for warmth that isn’t there.
Though she is still so young, Sica’s emotions are powerful and pure. Each cry tells a story of longing — a baby missing the only comfort she ever knew. The caretakers softly whisper her name, trying to calm her down. They gently wipe her tears and encourage her to drink, knowing she needs strength to survive. Slowly, Sica takes small sips, her sobs quieting but her sadness still visible in her eyes.
Every day, she grows a little stronger. She’s learning to accept her new life, surrounded by humans who care for her deeply. Yet no matter how well she is fed or how loved she becomes, that moment she cries for her mother reminds everyone watching how deep the bond between mother and child truly is.
Sica’s story is one of both heartbreak and hope — a reminder that love, whether from a mother or a caretaker, can help even the smallest soul find comfort again.
