When Dad decided to spend the day fixing things around the house, he never imagined he’d gain an assistant—especially one as energetic and clumsy as Monkey CUBIS. The moment Dad picked up his toolbox, CUBIS appeared out of nowhere, chest puffed out proudly, as if reporting for an important job. His eyes sparkled with confidence, even though he had no idea what he was doing.
Dad handed CUBIS a small screwdriver, thinking it would keep him busy. Instead, CUBIS immediately dropped it, then tried to pick it up with his feet, lost balance, and rolled backward across the floor. He jumped up quickly, pretending nothing had happened, and flashed Dad a proud grin. Dad couldn’t help but laugh.
Their first task was fixing a loose shelf. CUBIS insisted on holding the screws. One second later, the screws were gone—hidden carefully inside his mouth. When Dad reached out, CUBIS shook his head seriously, as if guarding priceless treasure. After a gentle negotiation and a banana bribe, the screws were finally returned, slightly damp but still usable.
Next came sweeping the floor. CUBIS grabbed the broom enthusiastically and began sweeping with dramatic flair, sending dust, leaves, and even Dad’s socks flying into the air. He sneezed, lost his grip, and the broom knocked over a bucket with a loud clang. CUBIS froze, eyes wide, then slowly looked at Dad to see if he was in trouble. Dad simply shook his head, smiling.
The real chaos began when Dad tried to paint a small wooden chair. CUBIS dipped his fingers into the paint, fascinated by the texture, and soon had white paint on his hands, face, tail, and somehow his ear. He proudly patted the chair—then patted Dad’s leg for good measure. By the end, Dad looked more painted than the furniture.
Despite the mess, the day felt lighter. CUBIS followed Dad everywhere, handing him the wrong tools, tripping over cords, and offering constant “help” that created twice the work. Yet every clumsy mistake came with laughter, hugs, and moments Dad knew he’d never forget.
As the sun set, they sat together admiring their imperfect work. The shelf leaned slightly, the floor wasn’t spotless, and the chair looked… unique. But Dad realized something important: with CUBIS as his super clumsy assistant, even the messiest day became a memory filled with joy, love, and endless laughter. 🐒💛
