On a bright, sunny afternoon in the countryside, Lala—an adorable, energetic little monkey—was lounging under the shade of a mango tree. The day had been warm, and Lala, after running around with joy all morning, was starting to feel a bit tired and quite hungry. But not just for anything—Lala had a very specific craving. Her mind was completely focused on one delicious, juicy fruit: melon.
She rubbed her belly and looked around, hoping someone might notice her subtle hints. She began making soft, whining sounds, then pointed at her mouth and mimicked the shape of a round fruit. CEO Kien, who had just returned from a short trip into town, noticed her behavior right away.
“Hmm… Are you hungry, Lala?” he asked with a gentle smile. Lala clapped her hands excitedly and nodded.
Kien crouched down beside her and asked, “What do you want to eat?” Lala pointed toward the small garden where Kien had grown various fruits, then she made a round shape with her hands again and began rubbing her belly. CEO Kien laughed.
“Oh! You want melon?” he guessed.
Lala squealed in delight and jumped up and down. It was clear that she was craving the refreshing sweetness of ripe melon. Kien gave her a loving pat on the head. “Okay, Lala. Let’s make something special just for you.”
Searching for the Perfect Melon
CEO Kien went straight to his fruit pantry, where he had carefully stored all the best fruits from the morning market. He picked up a beautifully round honeydew melon and a slice of cantaloupe. Both were sweet, juicy, and perfect for a summer treat. Lala peeked over the counter, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she watched Kien lay out his ingredients.
But Kien didn’t want to just slice the melon and hand it over—he wanted to create a truly delicious and refreshing snack that Lala would remember. “How about a yogurt dish with melon? Something cool, creamy, and full of love,” he said to himself, already thinking about what to add.
Making the Yogurt Dish
Kien quickly got to work in the kitchen. He took some fresh, thick, creamy Greek yogurt and placed it in a large ceramic bowl. Then, he diced the melon into tiny cubes—some cantaloupe, some honeydew, all perfectly ripe and colorful. He carefully mixed them into the yogurt.
Next, he drizzled a bit of wild honey on top for sweetness, and for extra flavor and crunch, he sprinkled a handful of toasted granola and a few slivers of almond. As a finishing touch, he added a few mint leaves and a dash of cinnamon. The dish looked like a painting—white yogurt swirling with orange and green melon pieces, topped with golden granola and hints of green and brown.
Lala’s Reaction
When Kien brought out the dish and placed it in front of Lala, she stared in wonder. She took a deep sniff and let out a delighted squeak. Carefully, with her little spoon, she took the first bite.
Her eyes widened in surprise and joy. The cool yogurt mixed perfectly with the juicy melon, and the honey made it taste even sweeter. The granola added a nice crunch that made her giggle with every bite.
Kien sat nearby, watching her happily. “Do you like it?” he asked.
Lala nodded furiously and made heart shapes with her hands. She was so touched by the effort he put into her snack that she climbed onto his lap, gave him a big monkey hug, and rested her head on his shoulder for a moment.
A Special Bond
This simple act of kindness wasn’t just about food—it was a symbol of the deep bond between CEO Kien and Lala. She wasn’t just a pet or a companion—she was part of the family. Kien understood her without words, cared for her deeply, and always went the extra mile to make her feel loved.
Later that day, as the sun began to set and the sky turned orange and pink, Lala sat by Kien’s side, still licking the last bit of yogurt from her bowl. She was full, happy, and deeply content.
Kien smiled and said, “Maybe tomorrow, we can try mango yogurt, what do you think?”
Lala clapped her hands again, always excited for new treats and surprises.
Word Spreads
What started as a simple craving turned into a delightful memory. Kien decided to share the recipe online, posting pictures of the yogurt dish and Lala’s happy reactions. Within hours, the post went viral. People from all over commented how sweet and thoughtful it was. Some said they were inspired to make the same dish for their kids or even their pets.
One comment read, “This is the kind of love we all need—so simple, so pure.” Another said, “Watching Lala enjoy her melon yogurt made my day!”
Melon Yogurt Becomes a Tradition
From that day forward, every time the weather got hot, Kien made sure to prepare a version of his now-famous yogurt dish. Sometimes he used mangoes, sometimes bananas, sometimes berries. But Lala’s favorite was always the melon version.
She would sit near the kitchen, waiting patiently, tail flicking with anticipation. And every time she took her first bite, her joyful expression made all of Kien’s efforts worth it.
It was more than just a snack—it was a moment of care, of sharing, and of love. It became their tradition. And in their little home surrounded by nature, such simple moments were the most beautiful.
A Message of Love
Lala’s melon yogurt story reminds us that caring for others doesn’t always have to be complicated or expensive. Sometimes, it’s the small gestures—the ones that come from the heart—that make the biggest impact. Whether it’s for a child, a friend, or even a little monkey, preparing something with love can turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary one.
And so, in a quiet corner of the world, Lala continues to enjoy her special treats, and CEO Kien continues to find joy in making them. Together, they show that love is best expressed not just in words, but in thoughtful actions and shared smiles over a bowl of yogurt and fruit.
