It was a peaceful Saturday evening when little Lala’s curiosity got the better of her. The adults were gathered in the living room, chatting and laughing over a bottle of red wine. The warm scent filled the air, and the shiny glass bottle sitting on the edge of the table caught Lala’s eye like a glowing treasure.
Lala, always the curious one, tiptoed closer. With wide eyes and twitching ears, she sniffed the air and stood on her hind legs to get a better look. She gently pawed at the bottle, fascinated by the way the light danced off the deep red liquid inside. But before anyone could react, the bottle wobbled… and tipped.
Crash!
The bottle shattered on the floor, sending red wine spilling everywhere like a little flood. Glass sparkled across the tiles. The room fell silent.
Startled by the loud noise, Lala bolted under the couch, her tail puffed out in fear. The adults rushed to clean up the mess, not wanting Lala to get hurt by the glass. Luckily, she was safe—just very guilty and very sticky from a few drops that had splashed on her fur.
Once the floor was cleaned, they gently coaxed Lala out with her favorite treat. Her eyes were still wide, and she cautiously stepped out, clearly realizing she had done something wrong. One of the neighbors chuckled, “Looks like someone had a little too much curiosity tonight.”
They gave her a warm bath and lots of cuddles, reminding her she was loved, even when she got into trouble. As she curled up in her blanket, clean and cozy, the lesson lingered in the air: curiosity may lead to adventure—but sometimes, it also leads to a little mess.
And from that day on, Lala kept her distance from shiny bottles—though she never stopped being curious.
