猴子捞月

One day, a little monkey is playing by the well.

 

He looks in the well and shouts: "Oh! My god! The moon has fallen into the well!"

 

An older monkeys runs over, takes a look, and says, "Goodness¹ me! The moon is really in the water!"

 

A group of monkeys run over to the well. They look at the moon in the well and shout: "The moon did fall into the well! Come on! Let'get it out!"

 

Then, the oldest monkey hangs on the tree up side down, with his feet on the branch. And he pulls the next monkey's feet with his hands. All the other monkeys follow his suit, and they join each other one by one down to the moon in the well.

 

Just before they reach the moon, the oldest monkey raises his head and happens to see the moon in the sky. He yells² excitedly, "Don't be so foolish! The moon is still in the sky!"
