There are days when ordinary routines take an unexpected turn, and what should have been a quiet afternoon suddenly becomes a story that no one will forget. This was exactly what happened when CUTIS, the clever little monkey, met a new mysterious baby monkey—and together, they ended up doing something so unusual and hilarious that it left Dad scratching his head in total confusion.
A Peaceful Afternoon
The sun was bright but not too hot, the kind of day when everything seemed calm. Dad was in the yard, fixing some tools. He liked things neat and in order, and he had just laid out his wrenches, screws, and pliers in a perfect line. For him, it was a moment of focus and peace.
But peace never lasted long when CUTIS was around. CUTIS, the curious and playful little monkey, was already climbing up and down the trees nearby, keeping a watchful eye on Dad. Every sound or movement was an invitation to play. CUTIS was known for being super smart, always surprising everyone with tricks and ideas far beyond what anyone expected from such a tiny creature.
That afternoon, however, CUTIS wasn’t alone. A new little baby monkey had appeared in the yard a few days earlier. No one knew where this baby came from. It was smaller, quieter, and had the most mysterious big round eyes that made it look like it was always thinking very deeply. The family nicknamed it “Mysterious Monkey.”
CUTIS seemed to have taken this little one under his wing, guiding, teaching, and—of course—getting into mischief together.
The Strange Plan
As Dad concentrated on his tools, CUTIS whispered and gestured to the Mysterious Monkey in a way that looked almost like a plan. They both crouched behind a bush, watching Dad’s every move. CUTIS tilted his head, then pointed at the tools. The Mysterious Monkey nodded slowly, as if fully understanding the mission.
Step one: distraction.
Step two: action.
The teamwork between them was so precise it almost looked rehearsed. CUTIS leapt forward, grabbed a leaf, and started waving it like a flag right in front of Dad. Dad frowned, shaking his head.
“CUTIS, what are you up to now?” he muttered, pushing the monkey gently aside.
While Dad’s attention was on CUTIS, the Mysterious Monkey crept forward silently. With incredible care, it picked up one of the screws from the ground and tucked it into its tiny hands. Then, without making a sound, it scampered back behind the bush.
When Dad turned around, his screw was gone.
“Huh? I just had it here!” Dad mumbled, scratching his head.
CUTIS couldn’t help but giggle, covering his mouth with both hands. The Mysterious Monkey peeked out from behind the bush, eyes sparkling with mischief.
The Confusion Begins
At first, Dad thought he must have misplaced the screw. But then it happened again. This time, a small wrench disappeared. Dad swore he had placed it right in front of him. CUTIS was bouncing around nearby, pretending to be innocent. The Mysterious Monkey slipped in and out, snatching tools like a professional magician.
“Am I losing my mind?” Dad whispered. He looked at the ground, checked under the bench, even looked in his pockets. Nothing.
Meanwhile, CUTIS and the Mysterious Monkey were piling the stolen items in a hidden spot under a big banana leaf. They stacked the wrench, screws, and even a pair of pliers neatly like they were creating a little secret workshop.
Every time Dad noticed something missing, his face grew more puzzled. He kept muttering, “I can’t be this forgetful. I just had it!”
The monkeys were nearly bursting with laughter, their little shoulders shaking as they watched Dad’s confusion. CUTIS slapped the ground with his hand, rolling on his back, while the Mysterious Monkey kept its serious face, as if guarding the growing pile of treasures.
The Special Thing
Just when Dad thought it couldn’t get any stranger, CUTIS and the Mysterious Monkey decided to take their game to the next level. Instead of hiding the tools randomly, they began arranging them in a very specific way.
CUTIS placed the wrench upright, then the screwdriver lying across it. The Mysterious Monkey carefully added a screw in the center. Slowly, piece by piece, they built what looked like a little sculpture.
To Dad’s eyes, it was baffling. One moment his tools were vanishing, and the next they were reappearing—arranged into a strange tower-like structure near the tree.
Dad walked over, scratching his head.
“Now what in the world is this? Did I… did I do this?!” he asked himself.
He circled the little tower of tools, tilting his head, completely bewildered. “This doesn’t make any sense.”
CUTIS clapped his hands proudly, showing his teeth in the biggest grin. The Mysterious Monkey stood very still, eyes wide, almost like an artist waiting for applause for its masterpiece.
For Dad, however, it was like walking into a mystery he couldn’t solve. “Either I’m losing my mind, or someone’s playing tricks on me,” he sighed.
The Big Reveal
The funniest moment came when Dad decided to sit quietly, determined to catch whatever was happening. He pretended to ignore the tools, pretending to fix something else. CUTIS and the Mysterious Monkey, thinking Dad wasn’t paying attention, immediately sneaked back to rearrange the sculpture.
Dad turned suddenly—only to see both monkeys frozen mid-action. CUTIS was holding a wrench like a sword, while the Mysterious Monkey was carefully balancing a screw on top.
The sight was so ridiculous that Dad burst out laughing. “So it was YOU two all along!”
CUTIS squealed and jumped in circles, not ashamed at all. The Mysterious Monkey blinked, still looking oddly serious, as if saying, “Yes, we are artists, and this is our work.”
Laughter That Lasted All Day
From that moment, Dad couldn’t stop laughing whenever he looked at his tools. Every time he picked one up, he imagined the two monkeys secretly building another strange tower behind his back.
CUTIS seemed proud that the trick had worked, and the Mysterious Monkey remained mysterious—never smiling, never showing much emotion, but always right there beside CUTIS, ready for the next mischievous plan.
The family couldn’t believe it when Dad told the story later that evening. “They didn’t just take my tools,” he explained, still chuckling. “They arranged them like they were making art. I thought I was going crazy!”
Mom laughed until tears rolled down her cheeks, and even the neighbors, who came to listen, shook their heads in disbelief.
“Those monkeys are smarter than we think,” one of them said.
CUTIS puffed up his little chest proudly, while the Mysterious Monkey simply blinked, calm and unreadable.
Conclusion
That day, CUTIS and his mysterious little friend managed to confuse Dad in the funniest way possible. What started as a peaceful afternoon of fixing tools turned into a comedy show of disappearing objects, secret teamwork, and a final “special thing”—a sculpture made from Dad’s own tools.
It was a story the family told again and again, always ending in laughter. CUTIS showed once more how clever and playful he was, and the Mysterious Monkey proved to be the perfect partner in mischief.
And as for Dad, he learned one important lesson: whenever CUTIS and the mysterious baby monkey are around, expect the unexpected—and prepare to laugh until your stomach hurts.
