Ooph! My Crazy Little Sister

It’s the story of a naughty little girl who often fights with her elder brother but loves him dearly. One day, their mom’s mini-purse goes missing after they shop at the mall. Will the little girl help to find it?

It was Saturday. Heena looked at the wall full of her drawings and called Papa. Papa came, and Heena said, “There’s no space left. Where should I draw?”

Papa smiled and said, “I’ll make a photo gallery of your beautiful drawings and repaint the wall so that you can draw again.”

Heena jumped with joy. “I love you, Papa!”

In the evening, Chunmun and his little sister, Heena, were fighting over the TV remote control. While Heena wanted to watch Peppa Pig, Chunmun wanted to watch PAW Patrol. Heena got aggressive, snatched the remote, and pushed Chunmun.

Chunmun got angry and complained to Mommy.

Mommy hugged him and said, “It’s okay! She is your little sister.”

Mom left her work and played Zug-O-Zug with Chunmun.

After watching two episodes of Peppa Pig, Heena ran to Mommy asking, “I am hungry.”

Chunmun rushed to the living room to watch PAW Patrol, but he couldn’t find the remote control. Heena had hidden it somewhere. Chunmun had to say sorry to Heena and close his eyes to get the remote. Both Chunmun and Heena happily watched PAW Patrol.

The next day, Chunmun and Heena went with Mom and Dad to watch the children’s movie The Lion King at Moon Cinema.

While Mom and Dad were talking to friends, the children quickly went and sat in their seats. Soon, a man in a white coat arrived with his teenage daughter and rudely asked them to leave their seats. Chunmun said politely, “These are our seats.” The man got angry and said, “You little rascal, vacate our seats.”

Just then, Mom and Dad arrived, apologized to him, and said to Chunmun, “Our seats are in the back row with the same numbers.”

Heena felt very upset and angry. “How can this bad man call my brother a rascal?” she thought. She wanted to teach him a lesson.

The man sitting in front of her took off his white coat and hung it on the seat. When the movie started, Heena quietly took out her coloured pens from the backpack and began drawing on the coat. Chunmun noticed and stopped her, telling her to watch the movie.

As they were leaving, Mom and Dad noticed Heena had drawn on the man’s white coat. Worried the man might notice and create a fuss, Dad quickly took everyone home. Later, he explained to Heena that it wasn’t okay and asked her not to do it again.

A few days later, Heena and Chunmun went shopping with Mom at a nearby mall. Both wanted a kids’ scooter. Mom agreed to buy one and said, “It’s for children aged 3 to 10. You both can share it.”

They agreed, but Heena wanted a pink Scooter while Chunmun wanted a red one.

Chunmun thought Mom would choose pink. But the pink Scooter was out of stock, so Mom bought the red Scooter.

Heena didn’t like it. She kicked the new Scooter and shouted, “I don’t want to ride this stupid red Scooty!”

Back at home, Heena was still angry with both Mom and Chunmun. She refused to eat lunch. She watched Peppa Pig and slept on the sofa.

In the evening, while relaxing, Mom opened her purse to take out the Scooty bill receipt and found the mini-purse missing. Besides some cash, it had a driver’s license, debit, and credit cards. She checked all the places at home, shopping bags, and the car, but couldn’t find it. She asked Chunmun about it, but he had no clue. She remembered that the last payment she made was for Scooty. Has she left it on the counter?

Mom and Dad went back to the mall. Mom asked the lady at the counter if she had left her mini-purse there. The lady checked but couldn’t find it. She then looked at the CCTV footage and saw Mom holding the mini-purse.

Mom and Dad walked along the same path to the parking area, searching for the purse, but had no luck.

At home, Heena woke up feeling hungry. Mom had kept some food on her plate on the dining table. She was happy and ate her food.

Just then, Chunmun came from the washroom and told her about Mom’s missing mini purse.

Suddenly, Heena remembered something. She had seen Mom’s purse on the sofa. She had picked it up. She ran to the living room and looked for the mini purse. She then lifted the sofa mattress — where she often hid the TV remote — and Mom’s purse was lying there.

“Ooph! My crazy little sister,” Chunmun thought, and he quickly called Mom.

Mom and Dad were in the car, talking about blocking their debit and credit cards and reporting the lost driving licence. Mom answered Chunmun’s call. Both Mom and Dad felt relieved and smiled.

The doorbell rang, and Heena ran to open the door. Dad smiled and said, “How is my fairy princess?” Mom lifted Heena, hugged her, and kissed her.

“I’m sorry, Mommy,” Heena said, “I won’t do it again.”
