The morning started unusually quiet, which should have been the first clue that Cubis was up to something. Instead of his usual playful noise, the little monkey tiptoed around the kitchen with a very serious expression. In his mind, today was special. Today, Cubis was hosting a five-star breakfast—and Dad was the guest of honor.
Cubis carefully collected everything he thought belonged in a luxury meal. A banana was placed neatly on a small plate. A slice of apple followed, arranged just right. He even dragged over a tiny cup, filling it with water as if it were the finest morning tea. Every move was thoughtful, slow, and full of pride. This was not just food; this was an experience.
Once everything was ready, Cubis walked straight to Dad, stood tall, and gently tugged at his hand. Then came the most adorable part—Cubis bowed slightly, like a true gentleman, and motioned toward the table. Dad couldn’t help but smile, instantly understanding the invitation.
They sat together, and Cubis watched closely as Dad took his first bite. His eyes sparkled with excitement. When Dad nodded and smiled, Cubis clapped softly, clearly pleased that his “chef skills” had been approved. He even tried to feed Dad another piece himself, holding it carefully and waiting patiently like a professional waiter.
Between bites, Cubis checked the table, adjusting the plate and straightening the cup. If Dad paused too long, Cubis gently tapped the table, reminding him that five-star breakfasts should be enjoyed properly and without rushing. The seriousness mixed with his tiny movements made the moment impossibly cute.
After the meal, Cubis leaned against Dad’s shoulder, completely satisfied. The breakfast might not have come from a fancy restaurant, but it was served with love, effort, and a whole lot of heart. Dad laughed, giving Cubis a warm hug, declaring it the best breakfast he’d ever had.
In that simple morning moment, Cubis proved that true luxury isn’t about expensive food or elegant rooms. Sometimes, a five-star experience is just a small gentleman, a shared meal, and love served fresh at sunrise.
