On a bright and sunny morning at the peaceful little farm, everyone was starting their day. The birds were chirping, the ducks were waddling to the pond, and CUTIS, the kind farmer, was already feeding the animals. But one little hero was just waking up — and she had no idea what kind of silly adventure was waiting for her. Her name? Lala.
Lala was a baby monkey full of energy and curiosity. She was smart, playful, and always eager to help. She also loved mimicking what she saw humans doing. But this morning, something was different. As she stepped out of her cozy little blanket in the barn, she noticed something terribly annoying — flies.
Buzz. Buzz. BUZZZZ.
The flies were everywhere! Around the ducks, around the food, even trying to land on her banana. Lala looked left. She looked right. Then she froze — one brave fly landed right on her nose.
Her big eyes crossed as she stared at it. She slowly raised her tiny hand and SWATTED! But the fly flew away just in time.
“Eeeek!” Lala squeaked in frustration.
wasn’t giving up that easily. She wasn’t just Lala today — she was Hero Lala, and she had a mission.
The Mission: Chase Away the Pesky Flies
Lala grabbed a leafy branch from the ground, just like she’d seen CUTIS do sometimes when brushing the animals. She began waving it wildly in the air, running around the farm like a tiny whirlwind.
First stop: the duck pond.
Quack! Quack! The ducks flapped their wings and scattered as Lala marched up with determination. She swung the leafy branch above their heads.
“Shoo! Shoo!” she seemed to say in her excited monkey squeaks.
But instead of scaring the flies, she accidentally splashed into the shallow water, slipping on a stone and landing on her bottom with a loud plop! Water sprayed up into the air, and the ducks stared at her with confused expressions.
Lala stood up, soaked but undeterred. She shook herself off, leaf still in hand, and charged toward the cow pen next.
The Cows Are Confused
The cows were lazily chewing grass when Hero Lala arrived. She waved the leaf branch again — swish-swish-swish! One cow mooed and stepped aside as Lala jumped up and down in front of her, trying to chase the flies off her back.
But the cows weren’t too bothered by the flies. It was Lala they were confused about.
Moo?
One curious cow lowered her head and licked Lala right on the cheek. Lala’s eyes widened in surprise as her face got covered in slobber.
“Blehhh!” she shrieked, wiping her face with her arm and dropping her branch.
The cows calmly went back to chewing, while Lala picked up a towel CUTIS had left nearby and wiped her face clean. “Okay,” she seemed to think, “this needs a smarter plan.”
The Genius Plan (Sort of)
Lala had watched CUTIS use all sorts of clever tools before. So, she scurried into the storage shed and rummaged through baskets and buckets until she found… a fly swatter!
It was a bright yellow plastic one with a long handle. PERFECT.
She held it like a sword, gripping it with both hands, and marched out with her chest puffed up like a superhero.
CUTIS saw her and chuckled, “What are you up to now, Lala?”
Lala pointed at the sky, then swung the swatter dramatically.
CUTIS laughed harder. “Ahh, fighting flies again, are you? Good luck!”
And so began the Great Fly Battle of the Farm.
Hero Lala’s Epic Fly Battle
She spotted a group of flies buzzing near the goats and tiptoed like a ninja.
SNEAK… SNEAK… SWAT!
Missed.
She ran after the flies, swinging the swatter above her head like a helicopter.
SWAT! SWAT! SPIN! JUMP!
She leapt into the air, twirled, and accidentally landed right in a pile of hay — poof!
Now she looked like a haystack with eyes. CUTIS ran over laughing, “You okay, hay-monkey?”
Lala poked her head out and blinked. Then she shook herself and leaped out like a fluffy rocket, still holding her swatter.
By now, the goats, chickens, ducks, cows, and even the sleepy cat were watching her wild efforts. The entire farm seemed entertained.
Lala climbed up a little wooden stool and began swinging the swatter in giant circles.
“Waaa-cha! Waaa-cha!”
It didn’t matter that she wasn’t catching many flies. She looked so serious and heroic that everyone smiled.
A Surprising Solution
CUTIS, now feeling inspired by Lala’s energy, walked over with a natural fly-repelling spray made from lemongrass and vinegar. He gently sprayed it around the barn and the food area.
Soon, the flies started to leave.
Lala paused and sniffed the air. She looked around — fewer flies! Her eyes lit up.
She thought she had done it.
Lala puffed up proudly, hands on her hips. She marched in circles around the barnyard, posing like a champion, even standing on a little barrel and raising her fly swatter high like a golden trophy.
The animals all clapped in their own way — ducks quacked, goats bleated, and CUTIS gave her a cheer.
“You did it, Hero Lala!” he said with a grin.
She ran up to him, leapt into his arms, and gave him a big monkey hug.
Victory Celebration
To celebrate her brave battle, CUTIS gave Lala a big juicy mango, her favorite treat. She sat under the shady tree, munching happily and occasionally swatting the air for fun.
The sun began to set, painting the sky in warm oranges and purples. The animals settled down for the evening, and the flies were mostly gone, thanks to Lala’s wild antics — and CUTIS’s spray.
As Lala curled up in her little bed of blankets, holding her swatter like a teddy bear, she sighed contentedly.
Today, she had been a hero. A silly, funny, brave little hero.
And tomorrow? Who knows. Maybe she’d battle squirrels. Or rescue a duckling. Or… chase butterflies just for fun.
But for now, she dreamed of flying through the air, chasing pesky flies away from the animals she loved.
Because when you’re Hero Lala, every day is an adventure.
The End.
