In the quiet jungle, under the shade of tall green trees, lived a tiny baby monkey known by the name Rainbow. She was called this because of her bright eyes that seemed to shine with different colors in the sunlight. Despite her beauty and innocence, little Rainbow’s life was not filled with the warmth and safety a baby deserves. Her own mother, instead of showing care, often turned aggressive and harsh toward her fragile child.
One heartbreaking day, Rainbow tried to reach out for her mother’s attention, softly clinging to her fur as any baby would. But instead of love, she was met with sudden anger. Her mother raised her hand and struck the little one, leaving Rainbow trembling and crying loudly. The tiny baby monkey, too small to defend herself, could only whimper and beg with her eyes, as if pleading: “Please, don’t hurt me, Mama.”
Her cries echoed through the trees, a sorrowful sound that could melt even the hardest of hearts. Other monkeys from the troop paused to watch, but they were helpless witnesses, unable to intervene in the cruel scene. Rainbow curled her body tight, shaking in fear, hoping the beating would stop. Yet the mother’s temper seemed to rise, and she pushed the baby away again and again.
For Rainbow, every moment was filled with confusion. She longed for the gentle embrace, the soft grooming, and the comfort that other baby monkeys received from their mothers. Instead, she carried bruises not just on her body, but on her tiny heart. Her innocent soul could not understand why the one who gave her life would also be the one to hurt her so deeply.
When night fell, Rainbow nestled alone on a branch, her tiny body exhausted from crying. The moonlight cast a silver glow on her face, and her eyes shimmered with tears. She silently wished for kindness, for someone to protect her, for a tomorrow where she could feel safe and loved.
Rainbow’s story is a sad reminder of how even in the animal world, not all little ones are welcomed with the love they deserve. Her tearful cries and desperate begging touch the hearts of anyone who witnesses her suffering, leaving one hope lingering in the wind: that one day, little Rainbow will find the care and affection she so desperately needs.
