The morning began with soft chirping sounds coming from the backyard, and CUTIS immediately knew what it meant. The ducklings were awake. Their tiny peeps floated through the air like little calls for attention, and Dad was already outside, preparing their food. Before he could even ask for help, CUTIS and the baby monkey hurried over, eager to join in.
CUTIS carefully carried a small bowl, walking slowly so he wouldn’t spill a single grain. He felt proud to be trusted with such an important job. Beside him, the baby monkey followed closely, eyes wide with curiosity, fascinated by the fluffy yellow ducklings waddling around. Every time one of them stumbled, the baby monkey leaned forward, as if ready to catch it.
Dad showed them how to sprinkle the food gently on the ground. CUTIS listened closely, nodding seriously, while the baby monkey copied every movement, sprinkling a little too enthusiastically and making everyone laugh. The ducklings rushed toward the food, pecking happily, completely unaware of how much love surrounded them.
Next came the water. CUTIS held the container steady while Dad poured, and the baby monkey watched the ripples form, clapping softly in excitement. One duckling stepped into the water, splashing lightly, and the baby monkey let out a joyful squeal. CUTIS smiled, reminding his tiny helper to stay calm so the ducklings wouldn’t get scared.
As the morning went on, the three worked together like a perfect team. CUTIS gently guided the ducklings back into the shade, while Dad checked to make sure they were safe and comfortable. The baby monkey sat nearby, keeping watch, occasionally reaching out to touch the soft grass beside them.
When everything was finally done, Dad sat down and pulled both helpers close. CUTIS leaned against him, tired but happy, while the baby monkey curled up quietly, still watching the ducklings with fascination. The little birds huddled together, warm and content.
It was a simple moment, but a meaningful one. CUTIS and the baby monkey learned that caring for others takes patience, kindness, and teamwork. And as Dad looked at them, surrounded by peaceful ducklings, he knew these small lessons would stay in their hearts for a long time. 🐒🦆💖
