The Monkey Who Did This Prank 😱

It was a bright, golden morning in the jungle, the kind where sunlight filtered through the leaves like liquid gold. The air was full of bird songs and the rustling of the wind—but somewhere, hidden among the branches, a mischievous plan was brewing.

At the heart of this plan was a monkey named Cutis, known far and wide among his troop as the prank master. He wasn’t just playful—he was a legend of trouble. If there was chaos, laughter, or confusion in the air, you could bet Cutis had something to do with it.

That day, however, he was preparing something even bigger—a prank so clever, so shocking, that it would go down in jungle history.

🐒 The Mischievous Plan

It all started when the other monkeys teased Cutis for falling asleep during banana duty. He was supposed to guard a stash of ripe bananas, but instead, he’d dozed off, and the younger monkeys ate every single one.

When he woke up and found nothing left but peels, he was furious. The troop laughed so hard that even the parrots joined in.

“Oh, you think that’s funny, huh?” Cutis grinned, his eyes glinting. “Alright, you want funny? I’ll give you funny!”

He climbed up to his favorite thinking branch—a spot high above the jungle floor, where he planned all his mischief. There, he rubbed his chin and thought hard. “If they like jokes so much,” he said to himself, “they’ll LOVE this one.”

🍌 The Setup

The next morning, Cutis began his secret operation. He collected a pile of green bananas—ones that weren’t ripe yet—and hid them under some leaves. Then, he took a few ripe bananas and carefully peeled them. But instead of eating them, he filled the peels with mushed-up onions and chili peppers that humans had left near their camp.

He giggled to himself as he worked. “Oh, this will be perfect. They’ll never see it coming!”

By the time he was done, he had created the ultimate fake banana snack—a trap disguised as a treat. He placed them neatly in the clearing where the troop usually gathered for breakfast. Then, he hid behind a bush, barely able to control his excitement.

😂 The Prank Begins

Soon, the monkeys started arriving. Cubis, the youngest one, spotted the bananas first. “Hey, look! Fresh bananas!” he shouted.

Within seconds, everyone was gathered around the pile, cheering and clapping.

Cutis, hidden behind the bush, covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking with laughter. “Here we go…” he whispered.

The first to grab one was Cubis. He peeled it open and took a big bite—expecting the sweet taste of banana.

But instead—WHAM!—his face twisted instantly. His eyes went wide, his tongue stuck out, and he began fanning his mouth frantically.

“HOT! HOT! IT’S ON FIRE!” he squealed, hopping up and down.

The others froze, confused. “What happened?!”

Cubis could barely speak. “Banana… BAD! FIRE BANANA!”

The troop burst out laughing—until another monkey decided to test it.

“Come on, Cubis, you’re exaggerating,” said Tito, the serious one. He took one bite himself.

A moment later—BAM!—his face turned red, and he started crying real tears. “AHHHH! It’s spicy! My mouth is burning!”

Now, the entire troop was in chaos—some monkeys were rolling on the ground, others were running for the river, and a few just stared in disbelief.

Cutis, from behind his bush, was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. He clutched his stomach, tears streaming down his face.

“This is the best day ever!” he howled between laughs.

😱 The Discovery

But Cutis had made one small mistake.

The Monkey Queen—an older, wise female named Lita—had been watching from the treetops. She didn’t eat the bananas, but she saw everything.

When the chaos finally settled, she climbed down slowly and looked straight at Cutis’s hiding spot.

“Cutis,” she said in a calm, but serious voice. “Come out.”

Cutis froze. His laughter died instantly.

He peeked out nervously. “Uh… hi, Queen Lita.”

Her eyebrow lifted. “You wouldn’t happen to know who did this… would you?”

Cutis tried to play innocent. “Me? Oh no, I was just… uh… watching.”

But before he could finish, a few pieces of chili pepper fell from his fur. Everyone gasped.

“HE DID IT!” Cubis shouted. “It was Cutis all along!”

Cutis sighed dramatically and shrugged. “Okay, okay, you got me. But come on—it was funny!”

The troop stared at him for a moment… then burst into laughter again. Even Queen Lita couldn’t hold back a small chuckle.

“Cutis,” she said, shaking her head, “you really are something else. But that was dangerous. You can’t play with human food like that—it could’ve hurt someone.”

Cutis looked down, embarrassed but still smiling. “Yeah… I guess I went a little too far.”

🧠 The Lesson

Later that evening, after everyone had calmed down, Cutis sat by the river, watching the reflection of the moon in the water. Cubis joined him, still rubbing his tongue.

“You’re crazy, you know that?” Cubis said.

Cutis grinned. “Maybe. But admit it—you’ll remember this forever.”

Cubis laughed. “I’ll remember it every time I eat a banana.”

Cutis’s expression softened. “I just wanted to make everyone laugh. But maybe next time, I’ll do something that doesn’t involve… uh… pain.”

Cubis nodded. “That would be nice.”

The two of them sat quietly for a while, listening to the sounds of the jungle. Fireflies danced above the water, and somewhere far away, an owl hooted.

“Hey,” Cubis said after a moment, “you know what would really be funny?”

Cutis’s eyes lit up. “What?”

“Next time, prank the humans instead!” Cubis suggested, laughing.

Cutis smirked. “Now that’s an idea…”

🐵 The Comeback Prank

A few days later, the humans returned to the forest to camp again. They brought food, drinks, and all kinds of shiny things that fascinated the monkeys.

Cutis watched them closely from the trees. This time, he didn’t want to do anything harmful—just funny.

When the humans went swimming in the river, leaving their bags behind, Cutis swung down silently. He rummaged through their things, then got an idea. He took one of their cameras, turned it around, and pressed the button again and again, taking dozens of pictures—mostly of his own funny faces.

Then he grabbed a few of their snacks, replaced them with jungle fruits, and ran back up the tree before they returned.

When the humans came back, they were confused. Their chips were gone, and their camera was full of photos of… a smiling monkey.

They looked around, and Cutis waved from a branch high above, grinning proudly.

The humans laughed and clapped. “That’s the funniest monkey ever!” one said.

Cutis puffed up his chest, proud once again—but this time, no one got hurt.

🌿 The Legend of the Prank

From that day on, Cutis’s prank became legend. The monkeys still teased him, but now with affection. “Hey, Fire Banana! What’s next?” they’d joke.

Cutis would laugh. “Next time, it’ll be something even funnier—but safer!”

He became known not just as the prankster, but the clever monkey who learned that laughter was best when it didn’t hurt anyone.

And every time a young monkey tried to pull a trick too wild or risky, the elders would say, “Remember what happened with the Fire Banana prank.”

Cutis would smile and nod, remembering that day fondly.

🧡 Moral of the Story

The jungle is full of laughter, curiosity, and fun—but it’s also full of lessons.

Cutis, the monkey who did that prank 😱, learned that true humor isn’t about making others suffer—it’s about making them smile together.

And so, every morning when the sun rises and the monkeys swing joyfully through the trees, Cutis’s laugh can still be heard echoing through the forest—bright, cheeky, and full of life.

But every now and then, when someone bites into a banana and pauses nervously, wondering if it’s safe, they can’t help but whisper with a giggle—

“Please don’t let this be one of Cutis’s bananas again!” 😂🐒🍌
