The house was unusually quiet that morning, the kind of silence that always meant one thing: Cubis was up to something. Dad walked around calling his name, expecting the little monkey to pop out laughing as usual. But this time, there was no answer. No footsteps, no giggles, not even the soft rustle of movement. Cubis had disappeared.
What Dad didn’t know was that Cubis had carefully planned the perfect hiding spot. Using his sharp intelligence, Cubis quietly observed Dad’s movements earlier, memorizing where he usually searched first. Under the table? Too obvious. Behind the curtain? Already checked. Cubis needed somewhere smarter. With a quick glance around, he climbed behind a stack of baskets near the storage area, pulling a cloth over himself and staying completely still.
Dad searched everywhere. He checked the bedroom, the kitchen, and even outside in the yard. Each time he called out, Cubis covered his mouth with both hands, holding in his laughter as his tail twitched in excitement. His eyes sparkled with pride—his plan was working perfectly.
Minutes passed, and Dad began to look confused. He scratched his head, muttering to himself, wondering how Cubis could vanish so completely. He even asked Mom if she had seen him, and she smiled quietly, sensing a prank was unfolding. Meanwhile, Cubis peeked through a tiny gap in the cloth, watching Dad walk right past him—twice.
Finally, Dad pretended to give up and sat down with a sigh. That was the moment Cubis could no longer hold it in. A sudden burst of giggles escaped, followed by Cubis jumping out of his hiding place with a triumphant expression. Dad turned around in shock, then burst into laughter as he realized he had been completely outsmarted.
The house filled with laughter as Dad scooped Cubis up, praising him for being so clever. What started as a simple game of hide-and-seek turned into a hilarious memory. Cubis didn’t just hide—he used intelligence, patience, and perfect timing. Try not to laugh, but with Cubis around, that’s nearly impossible! 😂🐒
