It was a quiet afternoon, and Mama Monkey was tidying up the yard when suddenly she heard the sound of tiny feet pattering quickly toward home. Before she could even look up, there came Lyly—darting through the gate, squealing with laughter. But something was very, very strange. Lyly wasn’t wearing a single thing!
Mama’s eyes widened in shock. “Lyly! Where are your clothes?” she cried, rushing over. Lyly, however, only giggled louder, twirling around as if nothing was wrong. Her mischievous grin showed she had been up to something silly.
After a moment of chasing her around the yard, Mama finally managed to wrap a towel around her little one. Still out of breath, she asked, “What happened, Lyly? Why did you come home like this?” Lyly scratched her head, looking cheeky. Then the story spilled out.
Apparently, Lyly had gone over to the neighbor’s house to play. While exploring, she spotted a basin of water and decided it was the perfect chance for a “swimming adventure.” Without hesitation, she took off all her clothes and hopped in, splashing and laughing until she was soaked from head to toe. The neighbors found her antics amusing, but when it was time to dry off, Lyly insisted she didn’t need clothes anymore. Instead, she bolted straight out of the house, leaving her tiny outfit behind.
Mama couldn’t decide whether to laugh or scold. Her daughter’s playful spirit always brought joy, but this was certainly not how she imagined the day would go. She shook her head, half-smiling, half-exasperated, and muttered, “Only you, Lyly, could cause such confusion.”
Later, after she was dressed again, Lyly sat munching on a banana, completely unbothered by the chaos she had caused. For her, it was just another fun adventure. For Mama, however, it was one more unforgettable story to add to the long list of Lyly’s playful mischief.
One thing was clear—life with Monkey Lyly would never be boring!
