It was a sunny afternoon in the jungle, and little baby monkey Tiko had just finished his bath. His caretaker, Mama Lila, had carefully washed his soft fur, scrubbing away the dust and leaves he had picked up from his adventures. Tiko squeaked with delight as warm water splashed over him, his tiny tail flicking back and forth.
Once clean, Mama Lila dried him with a soft leaf and gave him a loving pat. “There, Tiko! All clean and ready for the day,” she said, smiling at her little one. But as soon as her back was turned, Tiko’s mischievous nature took over.
Spotting a patch of soft, inviting dirt nearby, Tiko couldn’t resist. He bounded over, rolling and tumbling through the dusty ground with glee. The freshly bathed monkey kicked up small clouds of dust as he wiggled and flopped, completely covering himself in a layer of fine dirt.
Moments later, a sharp itch spread across his body. Tiko froze, then scratched furiously at his fur. The more he scratched, the more the dirt clung to his damp skin. He let out a frustrated chirp, realizing his fun had come at a cost.
Mama Lila heard his cries and hurried over. “Oh, Tiko! What have you done now?” she said, shaking her head with a laugh. She gently picked him up, inspecting his dirt-covered fur and tiny itchy hands.
Back to the bath they went, and this time, Mama Lila made sure to scrub every nook and cranny, washing away the dirt and soothing Tiko’s itchy skin. As she worked, Tiko sat quietly, realizing that maybe rolling in the dirt right after a bath wasn’t the best idea.
Afterward, Mama Lila wrapped him in a soft leaf once more and kept a close eye on him. Tiko, however, couldn’t help but sneak glances at the dirt patch, already plotting his next adventure.
Tiko scratched at his dusty fur, his tiny face scrunched up in frustration. Mama Lila scooped him up with a sigh, brushing dirt off his little ears. “Oh, you silly monkey,” she said with a smile. “Bath time again!”
Tiko chirped softly, knowing he was back in Mama’s care, where even his messiest moments were met with love.
