It was a sunny morning, and Cubis Monkey was already jumping with excitement. Today was special—Dad had promised to take him to the coffee shop! Not just any coffee shop, but Cubis’s favorite one, with the comfy chairs, calming music, and the smell of freshly baked banana bread floating through the air.
As soon as they arrived, Cubis’s eyes lit up. He held tightly to Dad’s hand as they stepped inside. The place was quiet and peaceful, filled with soft jazz music and the gentle hum of conversation. Cubis loved everything about it—the big windows with sunshine pouring in, the green plants in every corner, and especially the kind barista who always gave him a little treat.
Dad ordered his usual cup of coffee, while Cubis pointed excitedly at the display case, asking for his favorite banana muffin. They found a cozy seat near the window, where Cubis could look outside and watch people pass by while nibbling his snack. Every few minutes, he’d glance up at Dad, his eyes sparkling with joy.
What Cubis loved most wasn’t just the muffin or the soft chair—it was the time with Dad. They talked about all kinds of things: what Cubis dreamed about last night, how many butterflies they saw on the walk over, and whether monkeys could open a coffee shop of their own someday. Dad chuckled and said, “If they serve banana smoothies, I’d definitely go!”
After a while, Cubis leaned his head on Dad’s shoulder, feeling warm and safe. He sipped his tiny cup of milk, pretending it was coffee, just like Dad’s. The peaceful vibe of the café made him feel so calm—like all the busy worries of the world had disappeared.
As they got ready to leave, the barista waved goodbye, and Cubis waved back with a big smile. His heart was full. A simple visit to a coffee shop had turned into one of his happiest memories. Because in the end, it wasn’t about the muffin or the music—it was about being with Dad.
