At dawn, a tiny baby monkey slips from a high ledge, dropping into the silent space below. The sudden fall leaves him trembling, eyes wide with fear and confusion, unsure where safety has gone. He curls small, breathing fast, listening for his mother’s call while strange shadows surround him. The ground feels cold and unfamiliar, magnifying his helplessness. Moments stretch as the forest holds its breath. Then hope stirs as distant rustling grows nearer. The baby lifts his head, gathering fragile courage, waiting for warmth, protection, and the comforting bond that guides him home again at last tonight safely together.
