Little Sario was known as the spoiled baby of the family. She always clung tightly to her loving mother, Sarah, enjoying the safest and highest seat in the world—right on her mother’s back. From up there, Sario could see everything. She felt important, protected, and a little bit too confident for her own good.
One sunny afternoon, as Mother Sarah moved carefully through the trees and across the open ground, playful Sario grew restless. She wriggled and bounced, wanting attention. Instead of holding on securely like she was taught, she suddenly decided to jump down on her own. It was a bold move for such a tiny monkey who still depended on her mother for balance and safety.
But the ground was farther than she expected.
In a split second, Sario lost control and tumbled awkwardly, landing with a soft thud on the dirt below. The playful sparkle in her eyes quickly turned into shock. She lay still for a moment, surprised and embarrassed more than anything else. The fall wasn’t very high, but it was enough to scare her and shake her confidence.
Mother Sarah immediately turned around, worried about her little one. Before she could even reach Sario, her elder brother Marto had already rushed forward. Brave and caring, Marto gently touched his sister, checking if she was hurt. He stayed close beside her, offering comfort and protection.
Sario blinked and slowly lifted her head. She wasn’t seriously injured, just startled and a bit sore. With Marto’s support and Sarah’s comforting presence, she soon felt safe again. The spoiled little jumper learned an important lesson that day—sometimes staying close and listening to your mother is the best choice.
And with the love of her family surrounding her, Sario was ready to climb back up, a little wiser and a little less reckless than before.
