It was a bright and cheerful Saturday morning in the little forest village. The sun was glowing golden, the sky was crystal blue, and everyone was getting ready for the weekly market — the busiest, loudest, and happiest day of the week. CUTIS, the clever and playful monkey, had been waiting for this day all week long.
He jumped out of bed, tail swinging excitedly. “Wake up! Wake up!” he shouted, poking CUBIS, who was still half-asleep. “Today’s market day! Let’s go have some fun!”
CUBIS rubbed his eyes and groaned. “Five more minutes…”
But CUTIS was too excited to wait. He pulled the blanket off, dragged CUBIS to his feet, and called out to the tiniest one in the family — the Baby Monkey, a chubby little ball of fur who always followed CUTIS everywhere. “Come on, little one! Adventure time!”
The Baby Monkey squeaked happily and jumped onto CUTIS’s back, clinging tightly.
Mom called out from the kitchen, “CUTIS! Be careful if you go to the market! No causing trouble, okay?”
CUTIS grinned. “Of course not, Mom! We’ll just look around!”
But everyone in the family knew that when CUTIS said “look around”, it usually meant “make a little chaos and laughter everywhere he goes.”
The Journey to the Market
The trio — CUTIS, CUBIS, and Baby Monkey — set off together, skipping along the path that led to the village market. The road was full of life: chickens clucking, kids running around, and vendors setting up their colorful stalls filled with fruits, vegetables, and sweet treats.
CUTIS walked proudly in front like a leader on a mission. “Alright, team,” he said dramatically, “today, we explore, taste, and have fun — but no stealing, okay?”
CUBIS raised an eyebrow. “You said that last time, and we still ended up running from the fish seller!”
CUTIS laughed. “That was just a misunderstanding! I only wanted to smell the fish.”
Baby Monkey giggled, clearly excited for whatever chaos the day would bring.
The Market Scene
When they reached the market, the noise and smells were overwhelming — the chatter of people bargaining, the clinking of coins, the sizzling of fried snacks, and the sweet aroma of ripe bananas and mangos.
CUTIS’s eyes sparkled like stars. “This… this is paradise!”
CUBIS nodded, wide-eyed. “Look at all those fruits!”
And Baby Monkey just squealed, pointing everywhere — at balloons, kids, and baskets full of peanuts.
The three of them walked around, attracting everyone’s attention. “Look! The monkeys are here again!” one shopkeeper laughed. “Uh oh, better hide your bananas!” joked another.
But instead of causing trouble right away, CUTIS decided to be polite — at least for five minutes. He waved at a fruit vendor. “Good morning, sir! How are your mangos today?”
The vendor chuckled. “You can have one if you promise not to make a mess.”
CUTIS saluted proudly. “Deal!” He took one mango, split it into three pieces, and shared with CUBIS and Baby Monkey. “Sharing is caring,” he said with his mouth full.
The crowd around them laughed. People loved seeing CUTIS and his little gang — their energy always brought smiles to the market.
The Funny Chaos Begins
After the mango, though, CUTIS’s playful side started to take over. He spotted a pile of coconuts and got an idea. “Hey, CUBIS, want to see something cool?”
CUBIS immediately looked suspicious. “What are you planning now?”
CUTIS winked. “Trust me.”
He grabbed two coconuts, balanced one on his head, and started pretending to walk like a human, waving his arms dramatically. The people nearby burst out laughing. Even the shopkeepers stopped working to watch the performance.
Then Baby Monkey joined in, copying CUTIS’s every move, though wobbling adorably with a small basket on its head.
“Look at them!” someone shouted. “They’re doing a coconut parade!”
The crowd clapped and cheered, encouraging them. CUTIS took a bow like a performer, then gestured to CUBIS. “Your turn, my friend! Show them your talent!”
CUBIS sighed but smiled — he couldn’t resist the fun. He picked up a banana, pretended it was a microphone, and started making funny noises like a singer. “Ooo-oo-ah-ah! Banana love song!” he sang.
Everyone exploded with laughter. Even the grumpy old shopkeeper from the corner was smiling.
CUTIS clapped dramatically. “Thank you! Thank you! We’ll be here all week!”
The Baby Monkey suddenly saw a stand selling balloons and ran toward it, squealing with excitement. The vendor, amused, handed over a bright yellow balloon shaped like a banana. The Baby Monkey proudly waved it in the air — until a small gust of wind lifted it up and poof! it flew away!
“Oh no!” Baby Monkey cried. CUTIS immediately jumped into action, leaping onto a stall and then a roof, chasing the balloon as the crowd gasped and cheered.
“Go, CUTIS, go!” someone shouted.
CUTIS stretched his arm just in time and caught the balloon mid-air, landing gracefully on a pile of hay. The crowd erupted in applause. CUTIS held up the balloon proudly like a champion, grinning.
He returned it to Baby Monkey, who hugged him tightly. “Thank you!”
CUBIS laughed. “You really love attention, don’t you?”
CUTIS winked. “Only when it makes others smile.”
The Surprise Performance
As they continued exploring, a group of children surrounded them. “CUTIS! Do the dance again!” one kid shouted.
CUTIS chuckled. “You want a dance? Okay — but everyone joins!”
Soon, the market turned into a mini dance party. CUTIS led the moves, spinning and jumping, CUBIS tried to follow but kept tripping, and Baby Monkey was bouncing happily between them. The children copied them, laughing uncontrollably. Even the adults joined in, clapping to the rhythm.
Music came from a nearby radio stand, and someone shouted, “This is the happiest market day ever!”
CUTIS beamed. He looked around — everyone was smiling, laughing, forgetting their worries. He realized that sometimes, all it took was a little fun and laughter to bring people together.
After the music ended, CUTIS took a dramatic bow. “Thank you, everyone! CUTIS, CUBIS, and Baby Monkey are here to spread joy — not trouble!”
“Not this time!” CUBIS muttered jokingly, and everyone laughed again.
The Heartwarming Ending
As the sun began to set, the trio sat by the fountain, tired but happy. The vendors brought them small treats — bananas, peanuts, and coconut water — as thanks for making the market such a joyful place.
Mom showed up a little later, crossing her arms but smiling. “So… did you behave?” she asked suspiciously.
CUTIS gave his most innocent grin. “Of course! Everyone had fun, right?”
The crowd nodded and cheered, “They were amazing today!”
Mom couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, alright. I guess I can’t stay mad at you.” She patted CUTIS’s head lovingly. “You really do know how to make people happy.”
CUBIS stretched. “That was the best market day ever.”
Baby Monkey cuddled against CUTIS’s shoulder, yawning. CUTIS smiled softly, watching the sunset. “Yeah… we didn’t just make a ruckus — we made memories.”
The three of them walked home together, hand in hand, the Baby Monkey holding the banana balloon proudly. Behind them, the market still buzzed with joy, laughter echoing through the evening air.
CUTIS turned back once, smiling at the lively crowd. “We’ll come again next week!” he shouted.
“Can’t wait!” people called back.
And as the stars began to twinkle above, CUTIS felt his heart full — because what started as a playful ruckus had turned into something truly special: a day of laughter, togetherness, and love.
That night, as CUTIS tucked the Baby Monkey into bed, he whispered, “Today, we didn’t just have fun… we made everyone smile. That’s the best kind of adventure.”
And with that, the three best friends fell asleep — dreaming of their next big market adventure, full of joy, surprises, and monkey magic. 🤩🐒🍌
