In Tippy-Town, the silliest superhero of all was Captain Giggle.
His superpower? A laugh so big it could cheer up ANYONE.
His most prized treasure was his Giggle-Horn—HONK-HONK-HEE-HEE!—that played funny sounds.
One morning, his best friend Momo the Monkey was practicing cartwheels.
“Watch me, Captain! WHEEE!” Momo spun—
CRASH!
Right into the Giggle-Horn.
It fell. It bounced. And with a sad little PfffT… it went quiet.
Momo’s tail drooped. “I—I broke it. Your favorite thing.”
Big tears filled his eyes. “I’m so sorry, Captain.”
Captain Giggle looked at his broken horn.
For one second, his smile wobbled.
Then he knelt beside his friend.
“Momo,” he said gently, “was it an accident?”
“Yes!” Momo sniffled. “I didn’t mean to!”
“Then there’s nothing to forgive—but I forgive you anyway,” said Captain Giggle.
“A horn can be fixed. A friend is much more important.”
Momo blinked. “You’re… not mad?”
“Mad?” Captain Giggle grinned. “Accidents happen to EVERYONE. Even superheroes!”
And to prove it, he tripped over his own cape—WHOOPS!—and landed in a giant BOING of laughter.
Momo giggled. Then laughed. Then the two of them rolled around, giggling till their tummies hurt.
“Besides,” said Captain Giggle, wiping his eyes, “we can fix it together.”
So they did. A little tape, a little glue…
HONK-HONK-HEE-HEE! The Giggle-Horn was back.
And it sounded even sillier than before.
“Forgiving feels almost as good as laughing,” said Momo.
“Almost,” winked Captain Giggle. “Now—CARTWHEELS!”
