Monkey Lyly was having a delightful afternoon in the treetop kitchen. She had just poured herself a fresh cup of banana milk, her favorite treat. Balancing the cup carefully, she tiptoed toward her cozy reading nook, where her favorite pillow awaited.
But as she reached for her storybook, her tail accidentally knocked the cup. Splash! The banana milk spilled all over the pillow, leaving a sticky mess.
Lyly gasped, her eyes widening in horror. “Oh no! Mom’s favorite pillow!”
She tried to clean it up with leaves and twigs, but the more she wiped, the worse it got. The pillow was now soggy and stained.
Feeling a lump in her throat, Lyly knew she had to tell her mother. She found her mom tending to the garden.
“Mom,” Lyly began, her voice trembling, “I spilled banana milk on your pillow. I tried to clean it, but I made it worse. I’m really sorry.”
Her mother looked at her, then at the sticky pillow Lyly held out. She smiled gently. “Thank you for telling me, Lyly. Accidents happen. What matters is that you were honest and tried to fix it.”
Lyly’s eyes filled with tears of relief. “I promise to be more careful next time.”
Her mother hugged her. “I know you will. Let’s wash the pillow together.”
As they cleaned the pillow, Lyly felt a warm glow inside. She had made a mistake, but by admitting it and making amends, she learned a valuable lesson about honesty and responsibility.
