Little monkey Koy was in a playful mood, bouncing around with energy to spare. She loved making silly faces at her siblings and caretakers, always trying to get a laugh. Today, though, she went just a little too far with her own joke!
While sitting on a small log under the shade of a tree, Koy started stretching her lips and scrunching her nose, trying to mimic a “monster” face she’d seen before. She pulled her cheeks wide and made her eyes big, creating a hilarious—and slightly spooky—expression.
But as she turned to the mirror near the caretaker’s hut and caught a glimpse of herself… her eyes widened in fear!
“EEK!” she squeaked, falling backward off the log. For a split second, she didn’t recognize herself and thought a scary monkey monster had appeared! She bolted toward a bush and peeked out cautiously, her tiny heart thumping.
The caretaker couldn’t help but laugh gently as she picked up the little one. “Koy, silly girl, that’s just you!”
Even after realizing her mistake, Koy stayed close to her caretaker for a while, still unsure about the face she had made. Her siblings, on the other hand, found the whole event hilarious and started copying her “monster face” all afternoon.
Eventually, Koy began giggling too, realizing how funny it all was. She even returned to the mirror and gave it one more try—just a small monster face this time.
That day, Koy learned that even her own silliness could surprise her. And while her face may have been scary for a moment, it ended with giggles, hugs, and lots of playtime with friends.
