Early one quiet morning, while Dad was busy fixing tools in the yard, CUTIS and Buem whispered together behind the banana trees. Their eyes sparkled with excitement because today they had a special mission — a secret “thank you” for Dad. Lately, Dad had been working very hard, waking up early, coming home tired, but still smiling as he took care of everyone. CUTIS noticed this and wanted to do something unforgettable.
Without making a sound, CUTIS led Buem to the kitchen. Using their tiny hands, they gathered vegetables from the garden, washed them carefully, and tried to cook a simple meal. Of course, things didn’t go perfectly — a bowl tipped over, water splashed everywhere, and Buem almost slipped on the floor! 😆 But they didn’t give up. CUTIS encouraged Buem, reminding him that love mattered more than perfection.
Next, they made a small handmade gift using leaves, flowers, and a wooden heart they found near the fence. CUTIS carved shaky letters that read: “Thank you, Dad.” Buem proudly added his muddy handprint, believing it made the gift more special.
When Dad finally finished his work and walked inside, he froze. The table was messy, the food looked funny, and the house smelled… interesting. But when he saw CUTIS and Buem standing there, smiling nervously, holding their gift, his eyes filled with tears. Dad laughed, then cried, then laughed again — completely unbelievable!
He hugged them tightly, forgetting all his tiredness. In that moment, Dad realized the greatest reward wasn’t money or rest, but the pure love of his children. CUTIS and Buem giggled happily, knowing their secret thank you had worked perfectly. ❤️
