Life in the countryside has a rhythm of its own—calmer, softer, but not without its hilarious surprises. At the heart of one such unexpected tale is CUTIS, the super smart farmer known across the village not just for his skills in growing vegetables and taking care of animals, but for his unbeatable sense of humor. Partnered with him in mischief was Yen Nhi, a bright-eyed girl full of sass and charm, whose clever wit was the perfect match for CUTIS’s playful spirit. Together, they formed a dynamic duo that could light up even the gloomiest days. But little did they know, their playful partnership would one day make Mom—CUTIS’s stern yet loving mother—completely helpless.
It all began on a sunny morning when CUTIS and Yen Nhi were assigned the task of feeding the chickens. What should have taken fifteen minutes turned into a full-blown comedy show. Instead of simply scattering feed, CUTIS decided it was time to “train” the chickens. With a makeshift whistle and a homemade “chicken dance” routine, CUTIS pranced around the coop, calling the hens by name. Yen Nhi couldn’t resist joining in. She clapped her hands and shouted in a fake announcer voice, “And here comes Miss Clucky, the fastest beak in the west!”
The chickens, confused but excited, flapped and ran around, chasing the feed and squawking in harmony with the chaos. CUTIS slipped on a pile of straw and landed in a bucket, legs up in the air. Yen Nhi doubled over with laughter, snorting so hard she scared the rooster. The commotion was so loud, Mom came rushing out of the house thinking a fox had gotten into the coop.
When she saw the scene—CUTIS stuck in a bucket, Yen Nhi laughing uncontrollably, and chickens scattering everywhere—she didn’t know whether to scold them or laugh herself. “You two are impossible!” she huffed, arms on hips. “I asked you to feed them, not audition for a circus!”
CUTIS winked. “But Mom, the chickens love a good show!”
Mom grumbled something under her breath and stomped back inside, trying to hide a smile.
The next day, CUTIS and Yen Nhi were told to pick vegetables from the garden. A simple job… or so one would think. CUTIS, ever the entertainer, turned the garden into a competitive game show: “Welcome to The Great Veggie Grab! Two contestants. One prize. Who will pick the most cucumbers in ten minutes?”
Yen Nhi, playing along, put on a dramatic face. “Bring it on, CUTIS. I was born ready!”
They ran through the garden, pretending to be on live TV, commentating their every move. “Oh no! CUTIS just dropped a tomato! That’s a penalty!” Yen Nhi shouted.
“I’m back in the game with a surprise zucchini!” CUTIS yelled, holding it up like a trophy.
By the time Mom came out to check on them, the vegetable baskets were full… but so were their hands, pockets, and even CUTIS’s hat—with random vegetables sticking out at all angles. It looked less like a harvest and more like a vegetable explosion.
Mom sighed loudly. “Why can’t you two do anything normally?”
“But Mom,” Yen Nhi said innocently, “we’re making agriculture fun again.”
“You’re giving me gray hairs,” Mom replied, rubbing her temples. “Please. Just. One chore. Done like normal people.”
CUTIS saluted. “Aye aye, captain.”
But of course, the promise didn’t last long.
Later that week, the pair was tasked with cleaning the goat pen. CUTIS arrived wearing sunglasses and carrying a mop like a microphone. “This is DJ CUTIS, live from Goat FM. And we’re here with Yen Nhi, the Goat Whisperer!”
Yen Nhi, not to be outdone, began singing a silly song to the goats while brushing them. To everyone’s surprise, the goats seemed to enjoy it. One even started wagging its tail to the beat.
But the moment that truly pushed Mom over the edge was the “Milk Disaster.”
Mom had asked CUTIS and Yen Nhi to help milk their gentle cow, SuSu. CUTIS had read online that playing classical music helped cows relax. Yen Nhi, however, thought dance music would be better. They compromised by playing both—at the same time.
The cow blinked in confusion as Mozart clashed with techno beats. CUTIS began milking, but the bucket tipped over as Yen Nhi tripped on the speaker wire, spilling everything. Then, SuSu stepped in the mess and mooed in protest.
Mom walked in at that exact moment.
She froze.
She stared.
Her eye twitched.
“WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?!” she shouted.
CUTIS gave his most charming smile. “It’s an experimental technique—musical milking. Not quite perfected.”
Yen Nhi raised a hand sheepishly. “We might’ve miscalculated the playlist…”
For the first time ever, Mom just turned around and walked out without saying a word. She disappeared into the house, muttering something that sounded suspiciously like, “I give up.”
For the rest of the afternoon, CUTIS and Yen Nhi sat in silence, fearing they had gone too far.
Later that evening, just as the sun was setting, they decided to make it up to her. CUTIS cooked a beautiful dinner using all the vegetables they had picked, and Yen Nhi decorated the table with wildflowers. They even prepared a silly little skit for entertainment—a reenactment of their greatest “farm fails.”
Mom sat through the dinner quietly at first, refusing to be charmed. But as the skit went on, and CUTIS mimicked himself falling in the bucket while Yen Nhi played the “drama queen chicken,” Mom couldn’t hold it anymore. She burst out laughing—tears rolling down her cheeks.
“You two,” she said, wiping her eyes, “are the most troublesome, ridiculous pair I’ve ever known. But… I wouldn’t trade you for anything.”
CUTIS raised his glass. “To making life less boring!”
Yen Nhi clinked hers with his. “To laughter, mischief, and forgiving Moms!”
From that day on, CUTIS and Yen Nhi were officially dubbed the “Super Funny Couple” of the farm. And though Mom still shook her head at their antics, she secretly enjoyed every minute of it.
Moral of the story?
Sometimes, a little chaos makes life a lot more beaut
