It was a funny yet touching moment — little Jasmine stood perfectly still, her tiny body stiff and straight, looking just like a “gongkuroo” (a small wooden toy or statue), while her mom was busy giving her a long, serious talk.
Jasmine had been caught doing something naughty — maybe stealing a bit of food, teasing her siblings, or climbing where she wasn’t supposed to. Her mom, patient but firm, began to lecture her, her gestures full of expression and authority. But instead of running away or arguing back, Jasmine froze completely, standing upright like a statue.
Her wide eyes stared straight ahead, ears slightly lowered, lips pressed together as if she understood every word being said. The sight was almost too adorable — a tiny monkey trying to act serious and respectful while secretly hoping the lecture would end soon.
Caretakers nearby couldn’t help but laugh softly at the scene. Jasmine looked so innocent and guilty at the same time, her little hands folded in front of her as her mom continued to “advise” her with gentle but firm tones. It was a picture of discipline and love, wrapped in pure cuteness.
When her mom finally finished, Jasmine slowly tilted her head, blinking as if to say, “Are we done now?” Then, as soon as her mom turned away, she relaxed — her serious face breaking into a small, playful grin. A moment later, she was back to her usual energetic self, jumping and swinging as if nothing had happened.
This simple scene showed more than just humor; it revealed the deep bond between mother and child. Even when being scolded, Jasmine stayed still out of respect and affection. Her “gongkuroo” pose became a symbol of every little one’s funny, innocent way of showing guilt and love at the same time.
Sometimes, even in the animal world, moments of discipline turn into moments of laughter — and Jasmine, standing like a tiny statue while her mom gave advice, was the perfect reminder of that.
