Monkey Cubis is always up to something, and this time his curiosity led him straight into mischief. One quiet afternoon, Dad thought Cubis was napping peacefully. But silence in the house usually meant trouble, and sure enough, when Dad went to check the bathroom, he discovered the scene of the crime.
The floor was sprinkled with shredded toilet paper, and the toilet bowl was overflowing with soggy pieces. There sat Cubis, perched proudly on the lid, as if he had just completed a masterpiece. His little hands were still clutching a roll, pulling and tearing with great enthusiasm. To Cubis, this was the best game ever—unrolling, dunking, and watching the paper swirl around in the water.
Dad, on the other hand, wasn’t as impressed. “Cubis!” he exclaimed, half shocked and half holding back laughter. The guilty monkey froze, wide-eyed, realizing he’d been caught red-handed—or in this case, white-pawed.
The “punishment” wasn’t harsh, but it was enough to let Cubis know he’d crossed a line. Dad gently took away the toilet paper roll, gave him a firm shake of the head, and placed him in the corner for a short “time-out.” Cubis pouted dramatically, folding his arms and chattering under his breath as though he was the most misunderstood monkey in the world.
But even in his sulking, Cubis peeked back at Dad with those big, innocent eyes, silently testing if the punishment was over yet. When Dad finally scooped him up, Cubis clung tightly, nuzzling into his shoulder, as if promising to behave—at least until his next adventure.
Cleaning up the mess took longer than Cubis’s time-out, but Dad couldn’t stay mad. Mischief was simply part of Cubis’s charm. Though he got punished, the memory of his “toilet paper disaster” would become one more funny story in the long list of Cubis’s adventures.
After all, life with a monkey isn’t about perfection—it’s about patience, love, and plenty of laughter.
