Cubis, the charming little one with refined taste, had discovered a new love—coffee outings with friends. Though still young, he enjoyed sitting in cozy cafés, sipping warm milk or sweet cocoa, pretending to be as sophisticated as the adults. So, one sunny morning, he made up his mind: today, he would politely ask Dad for money to go out for coffee.
He started by behaving unusually well. He cleaned his toys, helped Mom carry small items, and even greeted everyone with a sweet “Good morning!” Dad raised an eyebrow, amused and curious. Cubis wasn’t usually this calm without a reason. After pacing around nervously, Cubis finally approached Dad, hands behind his back and eyes sparkling with hope.
“Dad…” he began softly, “can I have a little money? I want to go for coffee with my friends.” His voice was respectful, almost poetic, as if he were making a grand request. Dad couldn’t help but smile at the formality. “Coffee, huh? Since when are you so grown-up?” Cubis stood tall, saying, “I promise I’ll behave and be back on time!”
Dad pretended to think deeply. “Are you sure it’s just coffee? No mischief?” Cubis quickly nodded, eager to prove his maturity. Seeing his sincerity and good manners, Dad finally handed him some money. But not without advice—“Be careful, stay polite, and no wasting money.”
Cubis accepted it with both hands, bowing dramatically like a little gentleman. “Thank you, Dad! I will be responsible!” He rushed to get ready, brushing his hair and choosing his neatest clothes. Before leaving, he even announced, “I’ll bring you a cookie, Dad!”
At the café, Cubis felt like royalty. He carefully ordered his drink, sat upright, and chatted softly with his friends, imitating adult behavior. He didn’t run around or make noise—he remembered his promise.
When he returned home, he proudly handed Dad a small cookie. Dad chuckled, touched by his thoughtful gesture. Cubis had not only gone for coffee, he had shown responsibility and respect.
From that day on, everyone joked that Cubis wasn’t just a child—he was Cubis Luxury, the polite gentleman who knows how to ask for coffee money with class!
