Alfie was having one of the happiest moments of his day. The little monkey sat beneath a shady tree, playing with dry leaves and tiny sticks while enjoying the warm afternoon sunlight. His playful eyes sparkled with excitement as he jumped around, making soft sounds and happily exploring everything nearby. Amanda, his mother, had been close to him only moments earlier, and Alfie felt safe and comforted by her presence. But suddenly, Amanda stood up and slowly walked away. Alfie stopped playing and stared at her with a confused expression, unable to understand why she was leaving. He quickly followed her for a short distance, reaching out as if asking her to stay. When Amanda continued walking, Alfie returned to the tree and sat quietly on the ground. His cheerful mood disappeared, replaced by sadness and loneliness. He looked around, hoping Amanda would come back, but the forest remained quiet. Every few moments, Alfie glanced toward the path where she had disappeared. The little monkey hugged himself and waited patiently, remembering the happy moments they had shared just minutes before. As the sunlight began to fade, Alfie remained beneath the tree, quietly hoping his mother would return and bring back his happiness.
