Monkey Lyly was having one of those days. She had played all morning, built a tower out of pillows, chased her toy car, and even helped sweep the floor—well, kind of. By the time noon rolled around, her stomach gave a loud rumble. She paused, looked around, and clutched her tummy dramatically. “I’m starving!” she seemed to say with her big, pleading eyes.
That’s when she spotted it on the counter: her favorite treat—instant noodles! Her little face lit up with excitement. She scrambled up on a chair, reached out, and proudly brought the noodle cup to the table. With the package in hand, she turned to the humans nearby with hopeful eyes.
But to her shock, no one came to help her. Everyone seemed busy—Dad on his phone, Mom in another room. Lyly looked left and right, then tapped the noodle cup against the table as if to say, “Hello? Emergency here!” She even held out the cup dramatically, pointing at the kettle like a mini chef needing backup.
When no one responded, Lyly let out a tiny “Eep!” of frustration and slumped down. She tried her best—unzipping the top of the noodle lid, picking up a spoon, and even tapping the electric kettle with her finger. But the water wasn’t hot, and no matter how hard she stared at the buttons, they didn’t magically push themselves.
With a pout, Lyly sat in her chair, holding the dry noodles and sighing heavily like a soap opera star in distress. Eventually, her performance caught Dad’s attention. He laughed, walked over, and finally helped pour the hot water into her cup. Lyly’s eyes lit up again as she stirred the noodles, wagging her tail with excitement.
The world was right again.
In the end, Monkey Lyly didn’t just get her noodles—she got them with a side of attention and laughter. But next time, she hopes someone responds before she has to go full drama queen again!
