The CUTIS family’s small house was filled with joy these days. Mom had recently given birth to a sweet newborn baby, and everyone’s attention was on the newest member of the family. Dad, now fully recovered from his illness, was full of energy again, walking proudly around the house, telling neighbors about his precious little child.
CUTIS, the lively girl, and her loyal companion—the mischievous baby monkey—were curious from the very beginning. The newborn was so tiny, always wrapped in soft blankets, and everyone treated the baby with so much gentleness and care. For CUTIS and the monkey, this was both fascinating and confusing.
One afternoon, they decided: It’s time to discover the big secret about this newborn!
A Curious Mission
CUTIS whispered to the monkey as they peeked over the crib. “Why does everyone call the baby special? He just sleeps and cries. There must be something more.”
The monkey tilted his head, scratching behind his ear, and then climbed up on the crib. He leaned in close, sniffing the baby’s little toes. The newborn stretched, letting out a tiny yawn.
CUTIS giggled. “See? He does funny faces. Maybe that’s the secret.”
But the monkey wasn’t satisfied. His eyes darted around, as if searching for clues. CUTIS joined him, both of them leaning closer, examining every movement.
The Baby’s First Trick
Suddenly, the newborn made a sound—not a cry, not a laugh, but a squeaky hiccup!
“Hic! Hic!”
CUTIS’s eyes widened. “Monkey! Did you hear that? The baby’s… broken!”
The monkey jumped back, covering his eyes dramatically, then peeked through his fingers as if to say, What just happened?! CUTIS burst into laughter so loud that Mom came running.
“What’s going on here?” Mom asked.
“The baby makes funny sounds!” CUTIS explained between giggles.
Mom chuckled. “That’s just hiccups, sweetie.” She kissed the baby’s forehead. But CUTIS and the monkey weren’t convinced. To them, this was proof of a mysterious power.
The Disappearing Act
Later that day, CUTIS noticed something even stranger. Mom laid the baby down in the crib, but when she turned back a few minutes later, the baby was nowhere in sight!
“Monkey!” CUTIS gasped dramatically. “The baby disappeared!”
The monkey panicked, running around in circles, then climbed onto the bed to search under pillows.
Of course, Mom laughed and lifted the blanket. The baby was simply hidden under it, sleeping soundly. But to CUTIS and her furry partner, this was the ultimate trick.
CUTIS whispered, “Monkey, I think the baby is secretly a magician.”
The monkey clapped his hands excitedly, clearly agreeing.
The Secret of the Milk
The next day brought another discovery. CUTIS noticed that whenever the baby cried, Mom would bring him close and feed him milk. Afterward, the baby would stop crying instantly, looking peaceful and happy.
CUTIS frowned in confusion. “How does he do that, Monkey? We cry all the time for candy, and Dad doesn’t bring us candy right away. But when he cries, he gets milk immediately!”
The monkey’s eyes went wide. He ran to the kitchen, grabbed a banana, and started pretending to cry. “Ehh! Ehh!” he squeaked.
Nothing happened. No one brought him more bananas.
CUTIS rolled on the floor laughing. “Nice try, Monkey! But only the baby has that power. That must be his biggest secret—when he cries, everyone listens!”
The Funny Experiment
Determined to uncover more, CUTIS and the monkey decided to run an experiment. They both leaned over the crib, trying to copy the baby. CUTIS scrunched up her face, making tiny squeaky noises, while the monkey curled into a ball and squealed softly.
The newborn stared at them with wide eyes, then… suddenly smiled!
“Monkey!” CUTIS gasped. “Did you see that? The baby smiled at us!”
The monkey somersaulted on the floor in excitement, as if he had just cracked the code of the universe. The two friends high-fived each other, convinced that the newborn had chosen them to share his secret smile.
The Big Reveal
That evening, CUTIS decided to ask Dad directly. “Why is the baby so special? What’s his big secret?”
Dad chuckled, pulling her onto his lap. The monkey climbed up too, wrapping his tail around Dad’s arm.
“The baby’s secret,” Dad said gently, “is not about tricks or powers. His secret is that he reminds us of love, of hope, of family. Every smile, every sound he makes—it shows us that life is full of new beginnings.”
CUTIS tilted her head. “So… his secret is love?”
Dad nodded. “Exactly. And you, CUTIS, and you, little monkey—you are part of that love too.”
The monkey squeaked proudly, hugging CUTIS’s cheek.
A Hilarious Twist
The next morning, CUTIS woke to the sound of giggles. She ran to the crib and saw the baby kicking his little feet, making funny cooing noises.
But then came the biggest surprise. The baby let out a loud fart—so tiny yet so funny—that the monkey fell off the bed in shock.
CUTIS burst out laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes. “Monkey! That’s the secret! The baby makes the funniest sounds ever!”
The monkey rolled on the floor, clutching his belly, squeaking in hysterical laughter. Even Mom and Dad couldn’t stop laughing when they saw the scene.
From that day on, whenever the baby made a silly sound, CUTIS and her monkey friend would whisper, “That’s his secret power,” and laugh together.
The Bond of Siblings
Over time, CUTIS and the monkey discovered more little secrets: the way the baby grasped their fingers tightly, the way he kicked when he heard music, the way he calmed down when CUTIS sang softly.
Each discovery made them feel closer, not just to the newborn but to each other.
The monkey would sit guard by the crib, refusing to let strangers come too close, while CUTIS told her baby brother funny stories. Sometimes, the baby giggled as if he understood every word.
“See, Monkey?” CUTIS whispered one night. “The baby’s big secret isn’t just love or sounds. His real secret is that he makes all of us happier every single day.”
The monkey nodded, snuggling closer.
Conclusion
The CUTIS family had faced illness, worry, and hard times, but now their home was filled with laughter again. The newborn brought with him not only joy but also funny little surprises that kept CUTIS and the baby monkey endlessly entertained.
The big secret of the newborn, they realized, wasn’t magic, or disappearing tricks, or mysterious powers. The real secret was how such a tiny life could fill an entire house with love and laughter.
And for CUTIS and her mischievous monkey, every day with the baby became the funniest and happiest adventure yet.
