It started off as a normal sunny morning in the countryside. The birds were chirping, the breeze was light, and little baby monkey Lulu was full of energy. CUTIS, the kind-hearted farmer who had taken care of Lulu since she was a baby, was getting ready to go out to the field. Lulu, curious and playful as ever, clung to his shoulder, squeaking excitedly.
âAlright, Lulu,â CUTIS said with a chuckle, âyou want to go with me today? Letâs have an adventure.â
CUTIS, known for his love of animals and his gentle nature, treated Lulu like family. Every day, he would make sure she had enough food, water, and playtime. Their bond had become stronger over time, and Lulu followed him almost everywhere. But little did they know, today would be unlike any other.
As they made their way down the forest trail that led to the far side of the farm, something felt different. The birds had gone quiet. The air seemed unusually still. Lulu stopped playing with the leaves and started clinging more tightly to CUTISâs neck. Her little eyes looked around nervously. CUTIS noticed her change in behavior.
âWhatâs wrong, girl?â he asked softly, patting her on the back. âThereâs nothing to be afraid of.â
But then, out of nowhere, there was a strange soundâa deep, low growl. CUTIS stopped in his tracks. Lulu froze.
From the thickets just ahead of them, something moved. The bushes shook, and then the growl grew louder. CUTIS stood perfectly still, clutching Lulu protectively. He knew that sound wasnât from any harmless animal. It was something bigger. Something dangerous.
And then it appeared.







A wild boar, large and fierce, stepped out from the bushes. Its tusks were sharp, and its eyes glowed with aggression. It looked directly at CUTIS and Lulu, snorting and pawing the ground, ready to charge.
CUTIS’s heart pounded. He had heard of wild boars roaming the forest, but he had never come so close to one. And this one looked agitated.
Lulu let out a frightened cry and buried her face in CUTISâs chest. CUTIS slowly backed away, trying not to provoke the animal. âEasy⊠easy there,â he whispered.
But the boar wasnât listening. With a sudden lunge, it charged at them.
CUTIS turned and ran, holding Lulu tightly. He sprinted down the trail as fast as he could, the boar crashing through the forest behind him. Branches snapped, leaves flew, and Lulu clung to CUTIS for dear life.
They reached a small wooden bridge over a creek. CUTIS dashed across it, but as the boar stepped onto the bridge, its weight broke one of the old wooden planks. The beast lost balance and slipped into the shallow water below, squealing in frustration.
CUTIS didnât stop to look back. He kept running until he was far away from the forest and reached a wide open field. There, panting and exhausted, he finally stopped.






Lulu peeked up from his chest, still trembling. CUTIS knelt down, catching his breath, and hugged her tightly. âWeâre safe now, little one,â he whispered.
But Lulu wasnât done being scared. She whimpered softly and looked back toward the woods. Her tiny hands clung to CUTISâs shirt, and her eyes were wide with fear. CUTIS gently stroked her fur, trying to calm her down.
âShh⊠itâs okay. I wonât let anything happen to you,â he said softly.
After a few minutes, they made their way back home, keeping far away from the forest trail. CUTIS stayed alert, and Lulu remained quiet the whole time. Once they got back to the safety of the farm, CUTIS gave Lulu her favorite banana and warm milk. She sat on his lap, nibbling quietly, still shaken but feeling better with him by her side.
CUTIS, too, was still trying to calm his nerves. That encounter had shaken him to the core. He had faced many challenges on the farm beforeâstorms, broken machinery, even snakesâbut nothing compared to this.
Later that evening, as the sun began to set, CUTIS sat on the porch with Lulu wrapped in a soft towel, now finally fast asleep in his arms. He looked out across the fields and thought about how quickly life could change. One minute everything is peaceful, the next youâre running for your life.
He whispered, âIâll always protect you, Lulu. Youâre not just a monkey. Youâre family.â





The next day, CUTIS began making plans. He repaired the broken bridge and put up warning signs near the forest trail. He also spoke with other nearby farmers, warning them about the wild boar. Together, they decided to set up a safe path for their daily routines, away from any wild animal territory.
Lulu, still recovering from the scare, stayed close to CUTIS for days. She no longer wandered far or chased butterflies like she used to. But slowly, as days passed and she saw how calm and secure the farm was again, she began to relax.
One afternoon, CUTIS took her to the field with a small picnic. He brought her fresh fruit, some toys, and even a little blanket under the shade of a tree. Lulu played cautiously at first, looking around often. But soon, she began to smile again, hopping around and climbing small trees like before.
They had survived the most terrifying moment together. And more importantly, it had shown how deep their bond truly was.
From that day on, CUTIS became even more careful about their surroundings. He built a small safe play area for Lulu, fenced and protected, where she could enjoy her freedom without the risk of wild animals.




And Lulu? She grew braver again, slowly but surely. But she never forgot the moment she faced fear head-on, tightly holding onto the one person she trusted more than anyone elseâCUTIS.
In the end, it was not just a terrifying experienceâit was a reminder of love, courage, and the incredible bond between a human and a tiny baby monkey.
The end.
