One bright afternoon, little Zika the monkey was playing near the garden when he suddenly heard a painful cry. Curious and concerned, Zika rushed toward the sound and found his uncle sitting on the ground, holding his arm tightly. There was a deep cut, and blood was slowly dripping down. Uncle looked worried and a little weak.
Zika’s eyes widened, but instead of panicking, he quickly remembered what he had seen before when humans treated wounds. Determined to help, the clever little monkey sprang into action. He ran inside the house and searched carefully until he found a small first-aid box. It wasn’t easy—he had to climb onto a chair and reach the shelf—but Zika didn’t give up.
Dragging the box back outside, Zika opened it and began to work. First, he gently cleaned the wound using a soft cloth, just like he had seen before. Uncle watched in surprise, amazed at how careful and focused Zika was. Then, Zika picked up a bandage and slowly wrapped it around the injured arm. It wasn’t perfect, but it was neat and secure.
Uncle couldn’t believe his eyes. The pain started to ease, and more importantly, he felt safe knowing Zika was there. Zika looked up with concern, making sure his uncle was okay. When Uncle smiled and nodded, Zika clapped his hands happily, proud of what he had done.
Soon after, help arrived, and they took Uncle to get proper medical care. The doctor was impressed when he saw the bandage already in place. “Who did this?” he asked. Uncle smiled and pointed to Zika, who stood nearby, tilting his head innocently.
Everyone was amazed by Zika’s intelligence and kindness. From that day on, Zika wasn’t just known as a playful monkey—he became a little hero in the family.
And Zika? He simply wagged his tail, happy that his uncle was safe again.
