Children's day just passed! I wish everyone at all ages enjoyed yourselves. Today I'd like to share a story that I enjoyed very much when I was a kid, which is also a popular story that many Chinese kids have been read to before bed. It's about a couple of monkeys who wanted to rescue a moon out of a well. Did they succeed? Let's find out together!

一天晚上，有只猴子在井边玩儿，它往井里一看，发现里边有个月亮。
小猴子马上叫了起来：“不好了，月亮掉进井里了！”
大猴子听见了，跑过来一看，也跟着叫了起来：“不好了，月亮掉进井里了！”
老猴子听见了，跑过来一看，也跟着叫了起来：
“不好了，月亮掉进井里了！我们得想想办法，把它捞起来。”
于是，猴子们都爬上了井边的大树。
老猴子倒挂在树上，拉住大猴子的脚。
大猴子也倒挂着，拉住另一只猴子的脚。
猴子们就这样一只接一只，一直挂到井里头。
小猴子挂在最下面。它伸手去捞月亮。但手刚碰到水，月亮就碎成一片一片的了。
小猴子慌张地说：“糟糕，月亮被我抓破了！”
大家都埋怨起小猴子来。
过了一会儿，水面恢复了平静，井里又出现了一个又圆又亮的月亮。
小猴子再次伸出手去捞月亮，可是刚一碰到月亮，马上就又碎成一片一片。
猴子们捞了几次都没有成功。
大家嚷嚷着：“累死了，月亮还是捞不上来。我们不捞了。”
这时候，老猴子一抬头，看见月亮还在天上，
它喘着气说：“不用捞了，不用捞了，月亮好好的挂在天上呢，
井里的月亮是它的倒影。”
猴子们抬头看着月亮，都笑了起来。
这个故事告诉我们，做事要认真观察，仔细思考，
不要像猴子那样自作聪明，到头来白忙活一场。
