Baby Monkey was always full of energyâswinging from curtains, sneaking extra bananas, and exploring everything he shouldnât touch. But that also meant he often found himself in the silliest kinds of trouble! Luckily for him, his best friend Cutis was the smartest monkey around, always watching and ready to help.
One sunny morning, Baby Monkey spotted a bright red balloon floating in the neighborâs yard. His eyes sparkled. Without thinking twice, he crawled through a tiny hole in the fence and grabbed the string. But as soon as he did⌠WHOOSH! The balloon lifted upward, dragging Baby Monkey along with it! His legs kicked wildly, and his tiny voice squeaked in surprise.
âCUTIS! HELP!â he cried.
Cutis, who happened to be nearby, blinked in disbeliefâBaby Monkey was slowly rising off the ground like a flying banana! Cutis ran as fast as he could, leaping onto a tree branch to match his friendâs height.
âLet go of the balloon!â Cutis shouted.
Baby Monkey shook his head. âNo! Itâs pretty! I want it!â he squealed, still clinging tightly to the string.
Cutis rolled his eyes with an amused sigh. Of course Baby Monkey didnât want to let go. So Cutis thought quickly. He scampered up the trunk, climbed to the very top, and stretched out a hand. But Baby Monkey was drifting higher and higher.
Cutis had an idea! He plucked a banana from a nearby fruit basket on the balcony. He waved it dramatically. âLook! A super juicy banana!â
Baby Monkey gasped and immediately dropped the balloon to grab the banana. He fellâright into a pile of soft laundry Cutis had smartly positioned below.
POOF!
Baby Monkey popped up with a sock on his head, giggling uncontrollably. âThat was fun! Again?â
Cutis face-palmed but couldnât help laughing too. Baby Monkey hugged Cutis tightly. âYouâre the best hero ever!â
Cutis patted his head proudly. âAnd you, Baby Monkey⌠are the funniest troublemaker ever!â
Together, they waddled homeâone munching a banana and the other watching closely, ready for whatever silly adventure came next.
