It was a warm and gentle morning on the farm, with golden sunlight filtering through the trees and birds chirping their melodies. The air was filled with the scent of blooming flowers and ripe bananas, and everything seemed peaceful—except for one little rascal: Bon, the curious baby monkey with boundless energy and a constant desire for mischief.
Lala, the older and more responsible monkey, sat quietly under a mango tree, observing the scene unfolding near the water tank. CEO Kien, the loving caretaker of the animals, was trying to give Bon a much-needed bath. The problem? Bon was having none of it.
Bon darted around the yard, squealing and jumping into the bushes, flinging leaves into the air, and rolling in the dirt—getting even messier than before. CEO Kien, holding a soft towel and a basin of warm water, looked both exhausted and amused.
Seeing this chaotic scene, Lala blinked thoughtfully. She looked at CEO Kien’s kind but slightly flustered face and then at the cheeky Bon now trying to hide behind a wheelbarrow. She stood up, dusted off her fur, and approached them with the quiet wisdom of someone who’d done this before.
“Let me help,” Lala seemed to say with her calm demeanor.
CEO Kien noticed her presence and smiled warmly. “Lala, you’re always so helpful. Thank you.”
Lala gently clapped her hands and approached Bon with a knowing look. Bon’s eyes widened—he recognized that look. It was the same look Lala gave when he tried to sneak extra bananas before dinner or when he chewed on CEO Kien’s shoelaces. He froze. Lala slowly extended her hand and, to everyone’s surprise, Bon climbed into her arms.
She carried him over to the basin, patting his head to reassure him. CEO Kien followed, crouching beside them with a sponge and mild soap. Together, they began Bon’s bath.
Lala held Bon gently but firmly, whispering little monkey sounds into his ear. CEO Kien began to lather him with soap, carefully cleaning behind his ears, his paws, and even his tail, all while Bon sat still—something he never did during bath time. It was clear that Bon felt safe with both of them nearby.
As the bath continued, Lala took the sponge and helped scrub Bon’s back. She was gentle and precise, just like a big sister caring for her little sibling. CEO Kien was amazed at how cooperative Bon was when Lala took charge.
When the bath was over, Bon looked fresh, fluffy, and surprisingly relaxed. CEO Kien wrapped him in a towel and handed him to Lala, who rocked him gently in her arms. Bon even started to doze off—clean and content.
But Lala wasn’t done yet.
She carried Bon over to the shade, placed him softly on a mat, and began grooming him with her fingers. CEO Kien, impressed and touched, brought over some fruit snacks. Bon woke up just enough to nibble on a piece of mango that Lala offered him. She fed him bite by bite, making sure he didn’t choke and giving him water in between.
“Lala, you’re more thoughtful than most humans I know,” CEO Kien chuckled.
Lala gave a shy smile and continued her tender care.
After Bon had eaten, Lala began to clean his tiny fingernails, remove twigs from his fur, and smooth his tail. CEO Kien sat nearby, watching the magical bond between the two monkeys. It was more than just a funny moment—it was family.
Later that afternoon, CEO Kien decided to reward Lala for her efforts. He brought out her favorite red dress and brushed her fur until it shone in the sunlight. Then he placed a little flower crown on her head. Lala looked absolutely radiant.
As they sat on the porch together—CEO Kien, Lala, and Bon—there was a deep sense of harmony. Bon, now fully energized again, started playing nearby, occasionally running back to Lala for cuddles. CEO Kien gently patted Lala on the back.
“You’ve made this day so special, Lala. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
Lala responded by placing her hand on CEO Kien’s arm. It was a simple gesture, but it spoke volumes. She wasn’t just a monkey. She was a friend, a helper, a sister to Bon—and sometimes, even a little mother.
As the sun began to set, casting an orange glow over the farm, Lala climbed up to a tree branch to watch Bon swing below. CEO Kien leaned against the tree trunk, smiling.
This wasn’t just another day on the farm. This was a day when love and care outshone chaos. A day when a little monkey named Lala reminded everyone what it means to be thoughtful, patient, and full of heart.
And as the stars appeared above them, twinkling in the vast Cambodian sky, one thing was clear—Lala wasn’t just helping bathe Bon. She was helping raise him. With CEO Kien by her side, they made the perfect team.
A team full of warmth, laughter, and more than a few monkey hugs.
The End.
