In the soft golden morning light, Marry, the sweet little monkey, clung tightly to her mom’s arms. Her tiny hands wrapped around her mom’s neck with all the strength she had, refusing to let go. Today was supposed to be a happy day because Mom wanted to introduce Marry to a new friend — a gentle little kitten named Kitty. But Marry’s heart was filled with fear and confusion. The moment she saw Kitty walking toward her with curious eyes and a wagging tail, Marry pressed her face into Mom’s chest, trembling softly.
Mom smiled warmly and stroked Marry’s back, whispering gentle words to calm her. “It’s okay, my little one,” she said lovingly. “Kitty is friendly and wants to play with you.” But Marry didn’t move. Her big round eyes peeked out from behind Mom’s shoulder, watching Kitty carefully. The kitten meowed softly, trying to show kindness, but Marry still felt unsure. Every time Kitty stepped closer, Marry squeezed her mom tighter, making tiny nervous sounds that showed she wasn’t ready yet.
Mom patiently sat down, keeping Marry on her lap and allowing Kitty to sit nearby. Slowly, the little kitten began to play with a tiny ball, rolling it across the floor. The sound caught Marry’s attention. Her fear started to fade as curiosity grew inside her heart. After a few minutes, she stretched one hand forward, touching the soft ball that Kitty rolled back to her.
That small moment changed everything. Marry began to smile shyly, her tail flicking with excitement. Mom felt proud watching her brave little girl start to trust her new friend. By the end of the day, Marry and Kitty were sitting side by side, sharing gentle touches and laughter-like sounds.
Though the day began with fear, it ended with friendship and love. Marry learned that sometimes new things may seem scary, but with Mom’s support and kindness, courage can bloom beautifully in a little heart.
