Denita didn't need to hear voices of her human friends
- 02:36 - 02:37
to know she was safe.
- 02:37 - 02:39
Now. Love wasn't a sound.
- 02:40 - 02:43
It was a warm blanket in ropes to climb on
- 02:45 - 02:49
every day, someone groomed pretty for with a toothbrush.
- 02:51 - 02:52
Their bristles felt like her mother's clause.

Now it's very interesting.
- 02:59 - 03:00

She saw the other marmosets happily nibbling on bugs and
- 03:19 - 03:23
lizards, but she liked smooth yogurt and lumpy rice pudding.

Every table was a mountain, she mountain to be climbed.
- 03:43 - 03:45
Every smell was an invitation to adventure.
- 03:47 - 03:52
Some days, Nida was a treasure hunter, always spotting something
- 03:52 - 03:55
new and shiny with her sharp eyes.
- 03:56 - 04:00
What do you think Nida was spying with her sharp
- 04:01 - 04:04
eyes? What if there's any clues in our picture right
- 04:04 - 04:11
here? She was a brave explorer, getting lost, install grasses
- 04:12 - 04:15
and peeking inside dark and spooky caves.
- 04:16 - 04:20
While of the expression Brave Explorer has a lot to

- 05:51 - 05:52
just as fast.
- 05:56 - 05:56
No need.
- 05:56 - 05:59
His world would always be silent, but that meant she
- 06:00 - 06:03
noticed things that other marmosets often missed, like call for
- 06:03 - 06:06
colorful creatures even smaller than she.
- 06:08 - 06:10

You know, it goes to show you even animals have
- 07:16 - 07:17
difficulties in this world.
- 07:18 - 07:21
But when we overcome our difficulties and step up and
- 07:21 - 07:24
try to challenge the things that we think are fighting
- 07:25 - 07:28
against us, we can actually find really great things.
- 07:29 - 07:35
