In the warm afternoon light, little baby monkey Kimmy was taken for her regular bath—a gentle routine to keep her fur clean and her tiny body healthy. Despite the soothing water and careful hands that washed her, Kimmy was in no mood to stay calm today.
From the moment the first drops of water touched her fur, Kimmy began to squeak and wiggle. She squirmed in the caretaker’s grip, her small face scrunched up in protest as if to say she had far more important things to do. In truth, Kimmy was not angry about the bath itself—she was impatient for something much more important to her: her milk.
As warm water rinsed the soap away, Kimmy’s little cries grew louder. She flapped her tiny hands in frustration, glancing around as if searching for her bottle. Each time the caretaker paused to gently rub her fur or rinse her feet, Kimmy twisted her body, trying to escape the tub. Her sharp, impatient squeaks echoed through the space, announcing to everyone nearby that she could not wait another moment for her favorite treat.
Finally, when the last bit of soap was washed away, Kimmy was wrapped in a soft cloth and carried to her waiting bottle. The moment she saw it, her tiny tantrum stopped at once. Her eyes widened and her little hands reached eagerly for the warm milk she had demanded so loudly just moments before.
As she drank, calm and contentment returned. Her squeaks turned to quiet slurps, and her earlier anger was quickly forgotten.
