Love Stronger Than Loss
It was a hot, restless afternoon in the forest. Little baby monkey Polino had been full of energy, bouncing around, tugging on leaves, and making a mess of his sleeping area. He didn’t mean to cause trouble — he was just excited, curious, and playful. But his mother had already been stressed. The group had moved locations that morning, food was scarce, and she was tired. When Polino knocked over her water leaf and spilled the last bit of clean water she had saved, her patience ran out.
After a while, his mother slowly came closer. She watched him quietly. Maybe she realized she’d acted too harshly. She picked up a small fruit and offered it gently to him. Polino looked up through watery eyes but didn’t move at first.
Then, slowly, he reached for the fruit, letting her hold him once again. She groomed his fur carefully, quietly, without words. It wasn’t a perfect apology, but in the animal world, gestures speak louder. Some days are harder than others — for both babies and mothers. But love, even when shaken, can always be rebuilt through care, closeness, and quiet understanding. And Polino, though still hurting, knew he was not unloved." and short only 200 word
