It was a cheerful morning on the farm. Lala and Bon were having the time of their lives running around the fields, chasing butterflies, and digging in the soft soil near the vegetable garden. Bon, always the mischievous one, rolled gleefully in a pile of dirt, completely covering himself from head to toe in mud.
When Thuy called them in for lunch, Lala gasped as she looked at Bon. “Oh no! You’re a mess, Bon! We can’t go inside like that!”
Bon just giggled, clearly proud of his muddy adventure.
Thinking quickly, smart and responsible Lala led him to the small outdoor wash station next to the chicken coop. She pulled over a stool, filled the basin with warm water, and grabbed a soft towel and a gentle soap.
“Sit here, Bon. I’ll take care of you!” she said with confidence.
Bon obeyed, and Lala got to work, gently washing the mud off his little hands, arms, and face. She even made funny bubbles with the soap to make him laugh, turning bath time into playtime. Bon giggled and splashed, but Lala didn’t mind—she was focused and patient.
After drying him off and brushing his fur neatly, Lala smiled and said, “All clean! Now you’re ready to eat.”
When they walked back into the house, Thuy was surprised and impressed. “Wow, Lala! You did such a great job helping Bon!”
Lala beamed with pride. Helping others made her feel important and grown-up.
That afternoon, as they sat together enjoying lunch, Bon gave Lala a big hug. It was a small moment, but one filled with care, kindness, and love—proof that even little hands can do big things when they act from the heart.
