Monkey Lyly had always been a curious little girl, full of mischief and surprises. She adored exploring every corner of the house, from kitchen cabinets to laundry baskets. But one sunny afternoon, something truly unforgettable happened—an adventure that involved a simple mirror and left me laughing harder than ever before.
It began when Lyly discovered an old standing mirror that I had placed near the hallway. At first, she approached cautiously, tilting her head and studying the mysterious “creature” staring back at her. She blinked once, twice, then reached out and tapped the glass with her tiny fingers. The reflection copied her perfectly. Her eyes widened—was this another monkey imitating her?
She puffed up her little cheeks and made a funny face. The “other monkey” did the same. Confused and slightly offended, Lyly let out a tiny bark, as if demanding an explanation. But what truly sent me into fits of laughter was what she did next. Determined to catch the imposter, she ran behind the mirror—nothing. She ran back to the front—there it was again!
Lyly then began a dramatic performance—jumping, spinning, and slapping the floor—all while staring deeply into the mirror. At one point, she even offered her favorite banana piece to her reflection, pressing it against the glass with the sweetest sincerity. When the “other monkey” didn’t take it, she let out a frustrated squeal.
And then came the grand finale. Lyly suddenly stood tall, puffed her belly, and gave her fiercest warrior pose, as if challenging her opponent. But when she saw herself looking so serious and brave—she startled herself and fell backward onto her blanket! I burst into uncontrollable laughter as she looked around, embarrassed, trying to act as if nothing had happened.
From disbelief to bravery, confusion to comedy, that mirror revealed more than just her reflection—it showed the endlessly funny personality of little Lyly. Even now, I can’t look at that mirror without remembering her hilarious showdown with herself.
That day, Lyly didn’t just discover her reflection—she discovered how much joy she brings to everyone around her.
