The sun had just begun to rise over the quiet countryside, casting a soft golden hue over the lush green fields. CUTIS, the kind-hearted farmer, was already up, preparing breakfast for his animals. Life on the farm was peaceful, and CUTIS had grown especially attached to a little baby monkey named Coco, whom he had rescued a few months ago. Coco had been abandoned in the forest, weak and frightened. CUTIS had taken him in, nursed him back to health, and treated him like his own child.
Coco was more than just a petāhe was family. Every morning, he would cling to CUTISās shoulder as they walked around the farm, inspecting the crops and feeding the animals. CUTIS would often laugh and play with the baby monkey, talking to him as if he could understand every word. In many ways, Coco had become the heart of the farm.









That morning, however, something felt different. The birds werenāt chirping as loudly, and the dogs were barking anxiously. CUTIS sensed something was wrong.
He called out, āCoco! Time to eat!ā But there was no response.
Worried, he rushed to the small tree where Coco usually played. To his horror, he saw Coco on the ground, trembling and bleeding. The baby monkey’s fur was matted with dirt, and a deep scratch ran across his side. CUTIS dropped to his knees, his heart pounding.
āNo! What happened, little one?ā he whispered, tears welling up in his eyes.
Just then, one of the farmhands came running. āSir, I saw a stranger near the fence earlier. He had a stick⦠and I think he struck Coco!ā
CUTIS felt a wave of shock and anger crash over him. Who would do such a thing to a helpless baby animal? He gently scooped Coco into his arms. The monkey whimpered softly, clinging weakly to CUTISās shirt. CUTIS could barely hold back his tears.
Cradling Coco, he ran toward the small shelter he had built behind the farmhouseāa place where he often treated sick or injured animals. He laid the baby monkey down on a soft blanket, carefully cleaning the wounds with warm water and applying ointment. His hands trembled as Coco cried out in pain with each touch.







āShhh, itās okay, baby. Iām here,ā CUTIS murmured, his voice shaking.
But the moment was too much for him to bear. As he watched Coco suffer, he broke down. Tears streamed down his face as he whispered, āI should have protected you. Iām so sorry.ā
The image of CUTIS crying beside the injured baby monkey was heartbreaking. His pain wasnāt just from seeing the physical woundsāit was the guilt of not being able to shield someone he loved. CUTIS had always been strong, the protector of his farm and its animals. But now, he felt helpless.
News of the attack spread quickly through the village. Locals who knew CUTIS and admired his kindness came to offer their support. Some brought herbs, others offered to help find the person responsible. But CUTISās focus was solely on Coco.
For two days and nights, CUTIS barely slept. He stayed by Cocoās side, feeding him drops of water and mashed bananas, cleaning the wounds, and singing softly to comfort him. The bond between them was deeper than ever.
Finally, on the third morning, a small miracle happened. As CUTIS sat beside him, Coco opened his eyes fully for the first time since the attack and reached out a tiny hand to touch CUTISās face. A faint smile spread across CUTISās lips as he gently kissed the baby monkeyās hand.
āYouāre going to be okay, Coco. I promise.ā
CUTISās relief was overwhelming. He couldnāt stop the tears from flowing again, but this time, they were tears of hope. Coco was not only alive, but he was fighting to get better.
The villagers had also begun investigating the attack. With the help of a few neighbors, CUTIS was able to track down the strangerāa drifter who had been seen wandering the area. When confronted, the man admitted he had been startled by Coco jumping near him and lashed out in fear.
Though furious, CUTIS chose not to seek revenge. Instead, he reported the incident to local authorities and used the moment to speak publicly about compassion toward animals. He explained how animals, especially young ones, are vulnerable and must be protected, not harmed.





The emotional story of CUTIS and Coco touched many hearts. A local journalist even published a piece about the farmerās dedication, sharing photos of the moment CUTIS cried while holding his injured baby monkey. The image captured the raw emotionāthe heartbreak, the love, the pain of watching someone you care for suffer.
People from other villages and cities began sending messages of support. Some sent donations to help build a safer enclosure for Coco and the other animals. Others offered to volunteer on the farm. CUTIS was overwhelmed by the kindness pouring in.
As weeks passed, Coco slowly regained his strength. The wounds healed, though he remained a little more cautious than before. But with CUTIS always nearby, he began to play again, climbing trees and chasing butterflies. The farm returned to its peaceful rhythm, but something had changed in CUTIS.
He had always loved his animals, but now, his bond with them felt even deeper. The attack reminded him how fragile life isāand how precious love and care can be in healing even the deepest wounds.
And every morning, as the sun rose over the fields, CUTIS could be seen walking with Coco on his shoulder again. But now, there was a quiet strength in their presence, a reminder that loveāno matter how small or simpleācan overcome pain, even in the most heartbreaking moments.
