In the quiet corner of the forest, the one-legged monkey, Popeye, sat on the dusty ground with his tiny baby Polly beside him. The afternoon sun was soft, but Popeye’s heart was heavy. His missing leg made every move painful, and yet, he was determined to teach his baby how to live without depending too much on him.
Baby Polly cried so loudly that her little face turned purple, her tiny body shaking with frustration. She wanted milk, warmth, and comfort — things Popeye could barely give now. His injury made it difficult to climb trees or find food easily. Still, he gathered his strength, pulling Polly close for a moment, whispering soft grunts of love before gently placing her back on the ground.
It was a painful scene — Popeye’s eyes filled with tears as he watched his daughter cry. He knew this was the only way to help her grow stronger, even though his father’s heart broke with every sob. The forest seemed to echo Polly’s cries, while Popeye sat quietly, trembling, torn between love and survival.
Even with his body weak and his face streaked with tears, Popeye showed the courage of a true parent. His love for Polly burned brighter than his pain. This was not just a story of sadness — it was the story of a brave father teaching his baby to face the world, one tiny step at a time.
