Monkey Lyly Asked Her Mother to Make Her a Raincoat So She Could Go Shopping
It had been raining all morning, and little Monkey Lyly was getting restless. She stood by the window, her nose pressed against the glass, watching raindrops race each other down. Her favorite activity—going to the market with Mom—had been delayed, and her curiosity about what new snacks or tiny toys she might find was growing stronger by the minute.
Suddenly, Lyly turned around with an idea, eyes sparkling with excitement. “Mom!” she called out, tugging at her mother’s shirt, “Can you make me a raincoat? I want to go shopping with you, even if it’s raining!”
Her mother looked at her in surprise, touched by her determination and spirit. “A raincoat?” she asked with a smile. “But it’s so wet outside! You’ll get soaked!”
“I’ll be careful, Mom!” Lyly insisted. “Please? I don’t want to miss the market. I’ll help carry the groceries!”
Unable to resist her daughter’s hopeful eyes, Mom chuckled and said, “Alright, let’s see what we can do.” She searched through the sewing basket and found some colorful fabric she had saved. Together, they picked out a bright yellow material with tiny banana prints—perfect for a little monkey like Lyly.
While her mother worked at the sewing machine, Lyly danced around the room in excitement, occasionally peeking over the table to see the progress. After a little while, the raincoat was ready—complete with a hood and even a tiny matching bag. Lyly squealed with joy when she put it on. She twirled, checked herself out in the mirror, and gave her mom a big hug.
“Now I’m ready!” she said proudly.
As they stepped out into the drizzle, Lyly held her mother’s hand tightly. Passersby couldn’t help but smile at the sight of the little monkey in her cheerful raincoat, walking confidently through puddles, ready to face the world.
For Lyly, it wasn’t just about the market—it was the adventure, the love behind the handmade coat, and the joy of doing something special with Mom, rain or shine.
