Monkey Lyly has always been the center of attention at home. She knows every corner of the house is hers to explore, every toy is hers to grab, and every snack is hers to claim. But one afternoon, her world turned upside down when her mother returned with a special surprise—a playful little dog!
At first, Lyly froze in her tracks. Her wide eyes darted from her mother to the furry stranger wagging its tail in excitement. “What is this creature?” she seemed to wonder. The dog barked happily, eager to greet her, but to Lyly, the sound was completely unfamiliar. She tilted her head, scratched it, and squeaked softly as if asking, “Mom, are you sure about this?”
The dog bounded closer, sniffing curiously and inviting Lyly to play. Instead of joining in, Lyly climbed up onto the chair for a better view, her little hands gripping the edge while she kept her distance. She wasn’t angry—just puzzled. Her expressive face showed pure confusion as she tried to figure out why her mother thought this fluffy, tail-wagging newcomer belonged in her space.
But curiosity always gets the best of Lyly. After a while, she crept closer, reaching out cautiously to touch the dog’s fur. The dog responded with a playful nudge, and suddenly Lyly let out a giggle-like squeak. She tapped the dog’s paw, then darted away, sparking an instant game of chase around the living room.
What started as confusion slowly transformed into curiosity and, finally, laughter. Before long, Lyly and her new friend were rolling on the floor, sharing snacks, and creating the kind of chaos only two mischievous playmates can.
Her mother smiled, relieved that her plan had worked. The dog wasn’t there to replace Lyly, but to give her a companion who could match her energy.
In the end, Lyly’s confusion turned into delight. She may not have expected it, but having a dog around meant double the fun—and double the love.
