Every evening in the quiet countryside, CUTIS the farmer looked forward to a few hours of peace after a long day of tending crops. But ever since Baby Monkey arrived at the farm, those peaceful evenings had turned into wildly funny adventures.
Baby Monkey was not your ordinary baby primate. He was curious, clever, and completely obsessed with television. From action-packed jungle documentaries to soap operas with dramatic pauses, he wanted to watch everything. And CUTIS, always patient and gentle, didn’t mind sharing his living room—but the little monkey’s TV habits were anything but normal.
It all started one rainy Wednesday.
CUTIS settled into his favorite creaky armchair with a bowl of popcorn and turned on the TV. The rain tapped gently on the roof, and everything was perfect—until a little furry hand grabbed the remote.
“Eh-eh!” Baby Monkey squeaked, eyes wide as he clicked through 100 channels a minute. CUTIS chuckled. “Hold on, little fella. We can’t watch five shows at once!”
But Baby Monkey had other ideas. He leapt onto the couch, somersaulted across the cushions, and pointed dramatically at the screen when a cartoon came on. CUTIS sighed, “You really love this stuff, huh?”
And so began their evening TV routine, which quickly turned into a hilarious operation requiring planning, precision, and bananas—lots of bananas.
The Brilliant TV Plan
After a week of chaotic channel-flipping and popcorn-throwing contests, CUTIS decided it was time to organize the madness. One morning, he sat Baby Monkey down and said, “If you want to watch TV like a big monkey, we need a plan.”
Baby Monkey blinked and nodded solemnly. He was ready.
CUTIS pulled out a whiteboard and wrote in bold letters: TV TIME PLAN. Baby Monkey stared at it like it was ancient monkey treasure.
Step 1: TV Schedule
CUTIS divided the evenings into time slots:
- 6:00 – 6:30: Jungle Documentaries
- 6:30 – 7:00: Cartoons
- 7:00 – 7:30: Farm Reports (CUTIS’s pick)
- 7:30 – 8:00: Mystery Shows or Anything With Bananas
Baby Monkey clapped his hands in approval—especially at the banana-themed show slot.
Step 2: Banana Tokens
To keep things fair, CUTIS introduced a banana-token system. Each token let Baby Monkey pick one extra show. He could earn tokens by helping around the house or behaving during TV time.
The first day, Baby Monkey earned three tokens by cleaning up his banana peels and NOT jumping on the TV. A miracle!
Step 3: TV Couch Rules
CUTIS drew a line on the couch. “This is your side, and this is mine.” Baby Monkey nodded… then scooted halfway across the line anyway. Compromise.
Step 4: No Remote Wars
If they disagreed on a show, they’d flip a banana (tails was Monkey’s pick, stem side was CUTIS’s). They even created a custom TV remote with giant colorful buttons so Baby Monkey could “click responsibly.”
Hilarious Hijinks Begin
The plan was working… sort of.
One evening, while watching a cooking show featuring banana bread, Baby Monkey got too excited and tried to climb into the screen. “No, no, little buddy,” CUTIS laughed as he pulled him back. “That’s not a real banana!”
Another night, during the farm report, Baby Monkey put on CUTIS’s glasses and pretended to be the news anchor. He mimicked CUTIS’s deep voice: “Welcome to Monkey News! Today’s weather: BANANAS!”
CUTIS doubled over laughing. “You’re ridiculous!”
Then there was the drama night. Baby Monkey loved over-the-top acting. During a soap opera scene where a llama left his family for the circus, Baby Monkey gasped and hugged CUTIS like it was real. “Oooohhh!” he squealed, covering his eyes, peeking between his fingers. CUTIS couldn’t stop laughing.
Soon, TV time became more about their laughter than the shows themselves.
Special Guests and New Traditions
Word spread through the farm about the duo’s hilarious TV routine. The chickens gathered by the window, the goats peeked in from the barn door, and even the grumpy old cow mooed with amusement when she heard CUTIS yelling, “No dancing on the couch, monkey!”
On weekends, CUTIS hosted “Monkey Movie Night.” He built a mini movie theater out of cardboard boxes for Baby Monkey, complete with banana-flavored popcorn and tiny beanbags.
One night, CUTIS surprised Baby Monkey with a homemade TV costume. “Now you can be the star!”
Baby Monkey danced in front of the screen, wearing the box with a cut-out screen around his face. He acted out scenes, made monkey noises during the action moments, and narrated his own commercials:
“Coming up next… Banana Battle 3000! Only on CUTIS & Monkey Channel!”
