Little Diem wasn’t just a kind and curious girl — she had the biggest heart, especially when it came to her two favorite monkey friends: Kaka and Mit.
Every morning, Diem would run into the yard, calling out, “Kaka! Mit! Where are you?”
Before long, Kaka would swing down from the tree, chattering happily, while little Mit waddled over, still half-asleep but ready for cuddles.
Diem would giggle and hold out her arms. “Come here, my babies!”
She wrapped them in gentle hugs, and the monkeys leaned into her, knowing they were safe, loved, and adored.
Diem didn’t just play with them — she looked after them. If Mit had a scratch, Diem would run to get a soft wipe and gently clean it. If Kaka was feeling moody, Diem would sing her a quiet song or share a tiny piece of mango.
She even made special snacks just for them — tiny fruit balls, sticky rice in banana leaves, and once, a peanut butter surprise that made Kaka do a little happy dance.
The adults often smiled when they saw the three of them together. “She treats them like siblings,” Grandma would say. “Like they’re part of her heart.”
And they were.
At nap time, the monkeys curled up beside Diem on a soft mat, their tiny hands holding onto her shirt, their breathing soft and slow. Diem would stroke their fur gently, whispering, “I love you both.”
Kaka and Mit never needed words. Their eyes said everything — trust, happiness, and deep love for their human sister.
Because some bonds go beyond species. Some friendships are made of quiet moments, kind hands, and hearts that speak the same gentle language.
