Little Mody sat in the big wooden bathtub, his tiny hands gripping the sides as warm water swirled around him. But instead of enjoying his bath, his little face scrunched up, and suddenly—
“WAAAAAHHHH! DADDY! DADDY, COME HERE!”
His loud cries echoed through the house. His tiny legs kicked in the water, making big splashes everywhere.
Daddy Monkey, who was just outside, rushed in with wide eyes. “Mody! What’s wrong?”
Mody sniffled, his big round eyes filled with tears. “The water is too wet!” he wailed.
Daddy blinked. “Uh… well, yes, buddy. Water is supposed to be wet.”
Mody pouted. “But it feels funny! And it’s everywhere!” He kicked again, splashing water onto Daddy’s fur.
Daddy laughed and wiped his face. “Oh, my silly little monkey.” He knelt beside the tub and gently scooped some water, letting it drip onto Mody’s head like raindrops.
“See? It’s just water. It won’t hurt you.”
Mody sniffled again, watching the water trickle down his fur. It did feel kinda nice… warm and gentle.
Daddy smiled. “Let’s make it fun!” He grabbed a little leaf and floated it on the water. “Look! It’s a tiny boat!”
Mody’s tears slowly faded as he watched the leaf drift. He giggled. “Boat!”
Soon, he was splashing and laughing, forgetting why he was crying in the first place.
Daddy chuckled. “See? Bath time isn’t so bad after all.”
And with that, little Mody enjoyed the rest of his bath, happy and bubbly once again!
