Monkey LYLY was a very curious little monkey. She always wanted to know what everyone was doing, especially her mother. One afternoon, LYLY noticed Mom sitting on the couch, smiling while looking at her phone.
Immediately, LYLY became interested.
“What are you looking at?” she seemed to ask as she climbed onto the couch beside her mother.
Mom chuckled and gently moved the phone away.
“Nothing important, LYLY,” she said.
But that only made LYLY more curious.
She reached for the phone with both hands. When Mom didn’t hand it over, LYLY began to whine. She pouted, crossed her little arms, and let out dramatic sounds to show her disappointment.
Mom tried distracting her with toys, snacks, and even her favorite blanket. But LYLY was determined.
“No! I want to see the phone!” her behavior seemed to say.
After several minutes of adorable complaining, Mom finally decided to show her what was on the screen.
LYLY eagerly leaned forward and stared at the phone.
At first, she looked very serious, as if she were about to discover an important secret. Her eyes grew wide as she carefully examined the screen.
Then something unexpected happened.
The phone’s front camera accidentally turned on.
Suddenly, LYLY saw a monkey staring back at her!
She froze.
The little monkey tilted her head. The monkey on the screen tilted its head too.
LYLY blinked. The monkey blinked back.
For a moment, she seemed completely confused. Then she reached out to touch the screen.
When the monkey copied her movement again, LYLY jumped backward in surprise!
Mom couldn’t stop laughing.
A few seconds later, LYLY finally realized it was her own reflection. Her confusion quickly turned into excitement.
She began making funny faces, sticking out her tongue, and waving her arms. Every time the monkey on the screen copied her, LYLY laughed even harder.
Soon, she forgot all about why she wanted the phone in the first place.
For the rest of the afternoon, LYLY entertained herself with silly expressions while Mom watched and laughed beside her.
In the end, LYLY discovered that the greatest surprise on Mom’s phone wasn’t a secret at all—it was her own funny face!
