# Please Hold Me, Mom
The baby monkey clung tightly to its mother, crying with both hands raised.
Something had frightened it.
Its tiny face looked desperate, as if it were begging not to be pushed away.
The mother stayed close and kept the baby against her body.
Slowly, the little one stopped struggling.
Its hands relaxed.
Its eyes softened.
The fear had not disappeared completely, but being close to Mom made it easier to bear.
Sometimes a baby does not need an answer.
It only needs to know that someone will keep holding on.
