N-a-s-t-y and JeaLouSy Minea Screaminq Anqry and Scratch Newborn Baby Monkey Head đâ€đ¶
It was supposed to be a calm, happy day in the jungle nursery. The sun was shining through the leaves, the birds were singing, and all the little ones were playing gently on the soft moss floor. But then came Mineaâstorming in with eyes wide, voice loud, and a heart full of jealousy.
Everyone had been paying so much attention to the newborn baby monkey. He was tiny, adorable, and new to the jungle family. Mama Monkey, Aunt Lala, and even the older kids had been giving him all their love. They cooed, cuddled, and smiled every time he made the smallest sound.
Minea? She didnât like it. Not. One. Bit.
âShe never used to hold me that much!â Minea growled under her breath.
With her arms crossed and face scrunched, she stood in the corner, watching baby monkey get rocked gently in Mamaâs arms. And thenâsnap!âsomething in her just couldnât take it anymore.
She let out a loud, dramatic scream. âNOOOO!â she shouted. âSTOP LOOKING AT HIM!â
Everyone jumped, startled. The peaceful moment shattered like glass.
Before anyone could stop her, Minea ran over, waving her arms wildly. Baby monkey looked up, blinking in confusionâand then suddenly, ouch! Minea had scratched him right on the head!
âEEEKK!â the baby cried, bursting into sobs.
âMINEA!â Mama shouted, rushing to pull her away. âWhat did you do?!â
Minea stood there, breathing heavy, her face red and furious. But deep inside, it wasnât really angerâit was hurt. She felt left out, forgotten, and unloved.
But hurting the baby didnât fix anything.
Everyone gathered around baby monkey, comforting him and checking the tiny scratch. It wasnât deep, but it scared himâand scared everyone else, too.
Mineaâs eyes began to fill with tears. She looked at her hands, then at Mama, and whispered, âIâm sorry⊠I just wanted someone to notice me too.â
Mama Monkey knelt beside her and gently said, âWe love you, Minea. But love doesnât grow when you hurt others. You need to be kindâeven when you feel jealous.â
Minea nodded slowly. She didnât speak again that afternoon. She sat quietly nearby, holding a leaf, watching baby monkey sleep. Maybe next time, sheâd choose love instead of scratching.
And maybeâjust maybeâsheâd learn to share the spotlight, too. đ
