The small village was waking up with its usual rhythm—roosters crowing, mothers preparing breakfast, and children rushing around before school. But this day would soon be remembered for something both hilarious and heartwarming, all thanks to CUTIS the golden dog and his mischievous little companion, a rescued baby monkey who was never far from his side.
CUTIS was known throughout the village for his gentle nature and surprising intelligence. He wasn’t just any dog; he was patient, loyal, and unusually aware of human emotions. The baby monkey, rescued months earlier, had quickly attached himself to CUTIS. The two became inseparable—wherever CUTIS went, the little monkey clung to his back, played with his ears, or rode proudly on his shoulders like a tiny king.
That morning, villagers were busy preparing for the market day. Strangers from neighboring towns arrived carrying baskets of goods. It was a bustling scene, filled with chatter and laughter. But among the strangers were a few who quickly realized they had problems—problems no one expected CUTIS and his furry sidekick to solve.
The First Stranger: The Lost Basket
A woman had traveled far to sell her vegetables. As she reached the market, she realized with horror that her basket of fresh corn had rolled off her cart along the dirt road. She pressed her hands to her head, sighing loudly, “Oh no! That’s my best harvest. I’ll never find it now!”
CUTIS, lounging nearby, perked his ears at her worried tone. The baby monkey tilted his head curiously, then leapt from CUTIS’s back, chattering loudly as if to say, “We’ve got this!” Without hesitation, CUTIS sniffed the air, his golden coat glistening under the morning sun. He trotted off in the direction of the road, with the monkey clinging back on like a determined rider.
The villagers laughed and cheered. “Look! CUTIS is on the case!” one man shouted.
Within minutes, CUTIS found the basket tipped into a ditch. The monkey clambered down, struggling hilariously to drag one ear of corn at a time up the slope. CUTIS picked up the entire basket gently with his mouth, carrying it back to the surprised woman.
Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Unbelievable! The dog and monkey found it for me?” She hugged CUTIS, and the baby monkey proudly thumped his tiny chest as if he had done the hardest part. The villagers clapped and laughed at their teamwork.
The Second Stranger: A Stuck Cart
Later that morning, a merchant’s wooden cart broke down on a muddy path just outside the market square. He pushed and pulled, but the wheels were hopelessly stuck. People gathered around, shaking their heads. “It will take hours to free it,” one man muttered.
CUTIS, still buzzing from his earlier success, barked once and trotted toward the cart. The baby monkey leapt off and began inspecting the wheel like a tiny mechanic. He squeaked loudly, pointing at the mud-packed spokes as though giving instructions.
Everyone laughed at the sight: the monkey acting like a bossy foreman, and CUTIS ready to follow orders. CUTIS dug his strong paws into the mud and pulled on the rope tied to the cart. The monkey, not to be left out, grabbed a smaller rope and pulled too—though his tiny strength did more to entertain than to move anything.
But together with the merchant and some amused onlookers, the cart finally rolled free. The monkey screeched in triumph, bouncing on CUTIS’s back, while CUTIS wagged his tail proudly. The merchant bowed deeply. “Thank you, my friends. Never have I seen animals help like this!”
The Third Stranger: A Crying Child
As the market grew busy, a boy no older than five wandered too far from his mother. When he realized he was lost among the crowd, he began to cry loudly, tears streaming down his cheeks. The mother was in another section of the market, frantically searching.
The sound of crying caught CUTIS’s attention immediately. His protective instincts kicked in, and the baby monkey reacted just as quickly, scampering onto CUTIS’s back and pointing in the direction of the sobbing.
CUTIS approached the child slowly, wagging his tail to calm him. The monkey climbed down, wiped the child’s tears with his tiny hand, then patted the boy’s head as if saying, “Don’t worry, little one, we’ll fix this!”
The boy stopped crying, distracted by the funny antics of the baby monkey. CUTIS sniffed the air again, listening carefully for the mother’s frantic voice. Within moments, he trotted toward the other side of the market, guiding the boy along. Soon enough, the mother saw her child walking safely behind CUTIS, the monkey riding proudly again.
The mother’s relief turned into astonishment. She hugged her son tightly and exclaimed, “Who would believe it? Saved by a dog and a monkey!”
The Market’s Reaction
By now, the entire market was buzzing with stories of the golden dog and the clever monkey who had helped strangers in unbelievable ways. People couldn’t stop talking about the scenes they had witnessed. Some laughed, some shook their heads in amazement, and others claimed they had never seen such smart animals in their lives.
The children of the village gathered around CUTIS and the monkey, offering them bananas, biscuits, and pats of affection. The monkey stuffed his cheeks with bananas until he could hardly chew, while CUTIS wagged his tail, accepting every treat with calm dignity.
Even the village elder, a wise man who rarely praised animals, said with a smile, “These two remind us that kindness knows no language. It can come from humans, from dogs, or even from mischievous little monkeys.”
The Funny Ending
As the day came to a close, CUTIS and the baby monkey rested under a big tamarind tree. But one last surprise was waiting. A stranger dropped a bag of peanuts and didn’t notice. Of course, the monkey noticed.
Instead of returning the bag, the monkey quickly opened it and began stuffing peanuts into his mouth. CUTIS barked sharply, as if scolding him. The villagers burst into laughter. CUTIS picked up the bag with his mouth, trotted after the stranger, and returned it politely. The monkey, cheeks still bulging with stolen peanuts, looked guilty and tried to hide behind CUTIS’s tail.
The stranger laughed so hard he nearly dropped the bag again. “A smart dog and a funny monkey—what a team!”
Conclusion
That day, the story of CUTIS and the baby monkey spread far beyond the village. Strangers carried the tale home, telling others about the golden dog and his tiny sidekick who helped people in unbelievable ways.
They weren’t just animals—they were helpers, entertainers, and little heroes rolled into one unlikely duo. CUTIS had the heart of a protector, while the baby monkey had the spirit of a clown, and together they brought joy and kindness wherever they went.
The villagers knew one thing for sure: life would never be dull with CUTIS and the baby monkey around.
