It was a warm and sunny afternoon on the countryside farm, where the animals roamed freely and happiness echoed in every corner. Today, however, was different. It was a day that would be remembered forever by Lala and Bon — the two little monkeys who had recently become the heart and soul of the farm. They were not only adored by their fellow animals, but they had also caught the attention of the farm’s kindest and most respected figure: CEO Kien.
CEO Kien was no ordinary farm owner. Known for his compassion and sharp mind, he had built the farm not just as a business, but as a sanctuary for all living creatures. His love for animals was legendary, and he treated them like his own family. He had noticed how Lala and Bon had become inseparable — always playing, learning, and helping out around the farm. Today, he decided to do something extra special for them.
That morning, Lala and Bon were helping to carry small baskets of vegetables from the garden. Though their little arms struggled, they giggled and teased each other along the way, spreading laughter as they went. CEO Kien stood from a distance, watching their joyful teamwork. He smiled warmly and whispered to his assistant, “Prepare the special table under the mango tree. Today, we celebrate them.”
As the sun climbed higher, the special preparations began. A bamboo table was set with colorful plates, handwoven napkins, and flowers freshly picked from the garden. The smell of delicious cooking filled the air as Thuy, the farm’s head cook, worked her magic in the kitchen. She knew exactly what Lala and Bon loved — banana pancakes, coconut rice balls, honey-drizzled sweet potatoes, and fresh mango slices.
When everything was ready, CEO Kien gently approached Lala and Bon, who were resting under a shady tree after their hard work.
“Lala, Bon,” he said with a kind smile, “today is your day. Come with me.”
The two monkeys looked at each other in surprise. Their little eyes sparkled with curiosity as they followed CEO Kien. As they turned the corner of the garden path, they gasped in awe. The sight was magical. A beautiful table sat under the large mango tree, surrounded by colorful cushions and soft blankets. On the table were the most delicious foods they had ever seen
Lala clapped her hands excitedly, and Bon gave a little hop. “Is this… for us?” Bon asked softly.
“Yes,” CEO Kien nodded. “You both work so hard and bring so much joy to everyone here. Today, we honor you with a meal made with love.”
Tears welled up in Lala’s eyes. No one had ever done something like this for her and Bon. She felt a warmth in her chest that wasn’t from the sun—it was from the feeling of being truly seen, truly cared for.
They sat down on the cushions while CEO Kien served them himself. He gently placed a banana pancake on each of their plates and poured fresh coconut water into little bamboo cups. The two monkeys giggled with glee as they took their first bites.
“This is the best thing I’ve ever tasted!” Bon squealed.
Lala nodded, her mouth full of sweet, fluffy pancake. “And the coconut water! It’s perfect!”
CEO Kien sat nearby, watching them with quiet joy. He didn’t say much, but the smile on his face showed how happy he was to see them so full of life.
As they ate, other animals began to gather around, drawn by the scent and the laughter. Chickens, goats, and even the shy piglet Poko came to sit nearby, enjoying the happy atmosphere. CEO Kien, noticing the growing crowd, had more snacks brought out so everyone could join the celebration.
But for Lala and Bon, the moment was still deeply personal. After they had eaten their fill, CEO Kien brought out a small surprise — two beautifully stitched scarves, one pink and one blue, with their names embroidered on the corners.
“These are for you,” he said gently. “To remind you how special you are to this farm… and to me.”
Lala wrapped her pink scarf around her shoulders, while Bon tied his blue one like a bandana around his neck. They both beamed with pride. The gifts weren’t just beautiful — they symbolized love, respect, and belonging.
Later in the afternoon, as the sun began to dip lower in the sky, Lala and Bon snuggled into the soft blankets CEO Kien had laid out. Their bellies were full, their hearts were warm, and their souls felt deeply content. They lay side by side, giggling as the mango tree’s leaves swayed gently above them.
CEO Kien sat nearby, reading quietly. Every so often, he looked up and smiled, watching the two monkeys drift peacefully into a nap, curled up like two happy children.
In the quiet moments that followed, even the wind seemed to whisper with peace. The golden sunlight wrapped the farm in a soft glow, and all was calm.
The day wasn’t about grand gestures or expensive gifts. It was about something far more precious — care, appreciation, and the simple act of making someone feel loved. For Lala and Bon, that meal wasn’t just food — it was a memory that would live in their hearts forever.
And for CEO Kien, it was a reminder of why he dedicated his life to this farm. Not for fame or fortune, but for moments like these — where love, laughter, and kindness made the world just a little bit brighter.
The End.
