Little story for our children,
There was once a naughty monkey, he escaped to the foothill without his mum knowing it. He looked around, here and there. Everything at the foothill seems too interesting to him.
The little naughty monkey kept running forward, soon he came to an orchard full of peaches, plenty of red huge peaches on the trees. The little naughty monkey couldn’t resist what he saw. He climbed up to one of the trees, chose the biggest peach and plugged it off from the tree.
When he was about to eat the peach, he saw a sweet corn farm ahead not far away from him. He was interested to find out more about the sweet corn farm. From far, he saw the sweet corns were big and filling. He thought to himself: These fresh sweet corns must be very tasty, I might as well pick one nice sweet corn!”
He threw away the peach and went for the sweet corn. As soon as he was overwhelmed by a big huge sweet corn in his arm, he saw a rabbit running out from the bushes in front of him. He thought to himself: “How nice if I can catch this rabbit and make it my playmate!” He left his sweet corn and went after the rabbit. Unfortunately, the rabbit was too fast for him; it disappeared into the bushes again.
The little naughty monkey threw away his peach, left his sweet corn and finally couldn’t get the rabbit either. In the end, he had no choice but to return home with empty hands.
给我们孩子的故事，
一只调皮的猴子趁妈妈不注意的时候偷偷下了山，它这儿瞧瞧，那儿瞧瞧，觉得山下的一切都那么的有趣。
小猴子蹦蹦跳跳地往前面走，不知不觉来到了一片桃树林，它见树上结满了又红有大的桃子，一直流口水。小猴子见周围没有人，便爬上一棵桃树上，挑了一颗最大的桃子摘了下来。
正当它张嘴准备要吃桃时，又看见前面不远处有一片玉米, 对那儿又产生了兴趣。它走近一看，这里的玉米结得又大又饱满，它心里想 ：这新鲜的玉米一定很好吃，我干脆去掰一个玉米吧！
小猴子扔了桃子又去掰了玉米。正当它满怀欣喜地抱着一颗饱满的玉米时，突然从草丛钻出一只小野兔，小猴心里想 ：我要是能捉到这只小兔，让它陪我一块儿玩耍该多好啊！”它丢下了玉米去追兔子，小兔很快的钻进草丛里不见了。
小猴子扔了桃子，丢了玉米，又跑了兔子，只好两手空空地回家去了。
