It was a quiet afternoon in the cozy household where MiMi, a playful baby monkey, lived with her loving mother and her best friend, Su. The caretaker had left a beautiful cake on the kitchen counter, its sweet aroma filling the room. MiMi’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she nudged Su, her partner-in-crime.
“Let’s take a piece before anyone notices!” MiMi whispered excitedly. Su hesitated but couldn’t resist the tempting smell. Together, the two sneaked into the kitchen, climbing up the counter. MiMi reached for the cake, her little hands trembling with excitement, and swiped a generous slice.
The two hid in a corner, giggling as they devoured the stolen treat. Crumbs were everywhere, and their faces were smeared with frosting. But their fun was short-lived. MiMi’s mother walked in, her sharp eyes immediately noticing the half-eaten cake and the trail of crumbs leading to the mischievous duo.
“MiMi! Su!” her mother exclaimed, crossing her arms. MiMi froze, her heart pounding. She looked at her mother’s stern face, guilt washing over her. Su shuffled behind her, trying to avoid eye contact.
MiMi stepped forward, her voice trembling. “I’m sorry, Mama. I took the cake without asking. I… I just wanted to share it with Su.”
Her mother knelt down, her expression softening. “MiMi, it’s good to share, but taking something without permission is wrong. You need to ask first.”
MiMi nodded, her ears drooping. “I understand. I won’t do it again.”
Her mother hugged her, wiping the frosting off her face. “I forgive you, but next time, let’s share together, okay?”
That evening, MiMi helped her mother bake a new cake, learning not only the joy of cooking but also the importance of honesty and respect.
