It was a sunny afternoon in the kitchen, and everything seemed peaceful—until little Monkey Lyly’s curiosity took over again! Mom was busy preparing lunch, humming happily as she mixed up her famous chili sauce. The bright red color and delicious aroma caught Lyly’s attention immediately. Her big brown eyes followed every move Mom made. “What is that? It smells so good!” she seemed to think, inching closer with every passing second.
Mom turned around for just a moment to grab some vegetables, and that was all the time Lyly needed! Quick as lightning, she reached for the bowl and dipped her tiny finger in the bright red sauce. The second the spicy chili touched her tongue, her expression changed from excitement to shock! Her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she began fanning her tongue frantically.
“Lyly! Oh no!” Mom gasped, rushing to her side. The poor little monkey was hopping around the kitchen, shaking her head and waving her hands as if trying to chase away the fire in her mouth. Mom quickly handed her some cool water, but Lyly didn’t want it—she wanted milk instead! The moment she took a sip, she sighed in relief, eyes half-closed, still pouting from the spicy surprise.
Mom couldn’t help but laugh, even as she gently wiped Lyly’s face. “That’s why I told you not to touch it, silly girl!” she said, while Lyly clung to her, looking embarrassed but safe. A few minutes later, Lyly was back to her playful self, though she shot cautious glances at the chili bowl every now and then.
By evening, the story of “Lyly and the Chili Sauce” had everyone in stitches. Even Lyly seemed to understand the lesson—curiosity is fun, but sometimes it burns! 🔥 From that day on, whenever Mom cooked with chili, Lyly stayed far, far away—her tiny tongue wasn’t taking any more spicy adventures!
