The baby monkey fell into the muddy water.


 

The baby monkey fell into the muddy water on a warm afternoon deep in the jungle. It had been playing high in the trees, swinging from vine to vine with carefree joy. But as it reached out for a particularly slippery branch, its tiny fingers lost grip. With a sudden cry, it tumbled through the leaves and splashed into a shallow pool of muddy water below.

Startled and soaked, the baby monkey sat still for a moment, blinking through the thick mud that clung to its fur. Its little hands rubbed its face, trying to clear the muck from its eyes. Around it, frogs croaked and insects buzzed, but all it could feel was the cold, sticky embrace of the puddle.

From the trees above, the other monkeys chattered nervously. One of the older monkeys, likely its mother, scrambled down quickly, her eyes full of concern. She scooped the baby up gently, brushing away the mud with quick, careful movements. Though shaken, the baby clung to her, comforted by her warmth.

Soon, the pair returned to the branches, the baby now nestled close to its mother’s chest. The jungle returned to its usual rhythm, as the muddy pool silently waited for the next curious step too far.
