Monkey and Crab

One fine day, a monkey was walking on the road. As he walked, he suddenly felt very hungry. So, as he walked, he thought:

"It would be great if you could find something delicious on the ground!" "Yes! Yes!" The monkey picked up a persimmon seed. However, he looked at the seed, shook his head and said, "No way! This seed is too small to eat, so the monkey took the seed and continued to walk forward.

Suddenly, the monkey saw that there was a big rice ball slowly rolling towards him at the other end of the road, and it ran over very happily, trying to grab the rolling rice ball, and thought to himself:

"It's amazing! The fragrant rice balls must be delicious, and you won't be hungry after eating it!"

While drooling, the hungry monkey quickened his pace and ran forward, hoping to get the delicious and filling rice ball quickly.

"No! No!" The monkey heard a small voice behind the rice ball and said, "This is my rice ball! You can't take it away!" It took a closer look and it turned out to be a little crab working hard to carry the rice ball.

The monkey said, "But I'm so hungry! Give me some!" The crab shook his head and replied, "No! I can't give you the rice balls, because if I give you the rice balls, the baby crabs waiting for me at home will have nothing to eat."

"Then, I'll trade you the persimmon seeds I picked up on the road for that rice ball, okay?" The monkey pretended to be very pitiful, and the crab looked at the seeds and said, "No way! That kind of seed can't be eaten at all!"

The monkey then said, "But if you plant the seed in the soil and water it diligently, then, soon, it will grow into a big tree, and you can eat a lot of red persimmons every day! And when this little rice ball is eaten, nothing is left."

After listening to the monkey's explanation, the crab not only thought that the monkey's words were very reasonable, but also thought that the monkey was very smart. So, it exchanged rice balls with the monkey for the small persimmon seed.

The monkey thought to himself, "I didn't expect things to go so well, this stupid crab! So easily fooled, now I can enjoy this fragrant rice ball!"

As soon as the monkey got the rice balls, he immediately went to the place, opened his mouth, and ate the rice balls in large mouthfuls.

"It's so delicious!" The monkey patted his belly and said to the crab, "Mother crab! You have to plant the seeds in the soil well! Remember the water, and soon, you and your baby crabs will be able to eat a lot of fragrant and sweet red persimmons!" After the monkey finished speaking, he smiled and walked away.

The mother crab didn't know that she had been fooled, and she regarded the seeds as a treasure. She thought to herself, "I brought such good seeds back, and the babies will definitely feel very happy."

After the crab mother returned home, she was very happy to tell the crabs what happened and carefully told the crabs. Then, she led the little crabs to the yard and carefully buried the persimmon seeds in the soil. In addition, she watered it very carefully.

"Germinate! Germinate! If you don't germinate quickly, we'll cut you in half with sharp scissors!" The crabs surrounded the seeds and kept singing, hoping that the seeds would germinate and grow quickly.

The seeds buried in the soil were very frightened, so they tried their best to absorb water and grew desperately, because if they were cut off, what a terrible thing it would be! Soon, the seeds sprouted green shoots, and the crabs sang around the shoots:

"Bud! Bud! Grow up quickly! If you don't grow up quickly! We will cut off your bud with sharp scissors!" Bud listened to the crab's words and grew harder. Soon, it grew into a very big and tall grapefruit tree.

The persimmon tree grew taller and taller, and the crabs began to sing again: "Big tree! Big tree! Hurry up and grow fragrant and sweet red persimmons! Otherwise, we will cut your leaves with sharp scissors and cut your trunks!"

The crabs kept singing while watering. Soon after, the persimmon tree really bore many red persimmons. The hungry crabs were very happy when they saw the delicious fruits of the tree. They worked hard to water and sing. Finally, there was a rich harvest.

"I'm so hungry! However, the tree is growing too high, and we can't pick delicious red persimmons!" The mother crab moved a long ladder, and the baby crabs also used long bamboo poles, hoping to pick red persimmons on the tree. However, the persimmon tree was too high, and the little crabs had to stand under the persimmon tree, unwilling to look at the persimmons hanging high on the tree.

Just when the crabs were very disappointed, the cunning monkey saw the delicious persimmons and walked down to the persimmon tree very happily.

"This persimmon tree is so tall! You can't pick persimmons, can you? I'm best at climbing trees! Let me pick persimmons for you!" "Really? You are so kind! Then please pick persimmons for us! We are all starving!"

So, the crabs stood under the tree and watched the monkey climb briskly to the tall persimmon tree. After the monkey climbed the persimmon tree, he said happily, "There are so many red persimmons on the tree! It's amazing! It must be very delicious!"

The greedy monkeys ate while picking, and the mother crabs and baby crabs stood under the tree drooling.

"Mr. Monkey! Don't just focus on eating persimmons! Our stomachs are also hungry! Hurry up and pick some ripe red persimmons and throw them down the tree for us to eat! You said you would help us pick persimmons, didn't you?" The crabs said loudly to the monkeys on the tree. However, the monkeys selfishly ate the delicious red persimmons and pretended not to hear what the crabs under the tree said.

The mother crab and the crab treasure were getting more and more hungry, so they had to keep calling to the monkey on the tree: "You are so bad! Eating alone on the tree with relish! Our stomachs are also very hungry! You should pick a few red persimmons and throw them down for us to eat!"

When the monkey heard this, he said angrily, "Wordy! Do you want to eat persimmons? Then eat this astringent persimmon!" After speaking, he picked a lot of green persimmons and threw them hard on the crabs under the tree!

The hard and astringent green persimmon hit the mother crab under the tree. The mother crab was tired and hungry. After being hit by the green persimmon, she immediately passed out on the ground. The baby crabs were taken aback.

"Mom! What's the matter with you! Wake up! Mom, you can't die!" The baby crab cried and carried the fainted mother crab home.

Fortunately, the mother crab was not beaten to death by the astringent persimmon. The sad baby crab took care of her mother very carefully, hoping that the mother crab could recover earlier.

The next day, the three good friends of the crabs, chestnut, bee and stone mortar, came to visit them, and when they saw the injured mother crab, they asked the little crabs, "What the hell happened?"

Baby Crab told three good friends, Chestnut, Bee and Shizhu, what happened.

The three good friends were very, very angry and said, "This monkey is so hateful! Not only is it cunning but also so greedy! We must think of a way to teach it a good lesson!"

So the three of them went to the monkey's house, and the greedy monkey happened to be away, "We'll stay here and teach it a lesson when it comes back!"

After the three of them discussed it, the stone mortar went to the roof above the door, and the chestnut hid in the ashes in the stove. The bee found a large water tank and secretly parked in the water tank. In this way, the three very angry good friends decided to teach this greedy and cunning bad monkey a good lesson.

Soon after, the monkey returned.

"What a cold weather! It's freezing me! I'm going to make a fire quickly, and bake my cold fart clothes. My butt is cold. If I accidentally catch a cold, I will have a fever and cough. It will be very sad!" The monkey put a few firewood into the stove, and soon a pile of red flames was born.

It was sitting by the fire, roasting its cold ass. The three good friends saw that it was roasting its ass and decided to take the opportunity to teach it a good lesson!

First of all, the chestnut hiding in the ashes was getting redder and redder by the flames, and with a "pop!" sound, it quickly jumped out of the fire and hit the cold red ass of the monkey! The bad monkey, who didn't know it, thought the fire was too big and was scalded by the flame, and cried out in pain: "Why did the fire suddenly burn? It made my ass red and painful! I can't stand it! It hurts to death!" The monkey who was scalded by the chestnut ran while screaming. "Water! Water! If I don't soak in ice water, my ass will burn!"

The monkey ran to the side of the water tank and wanted to use ice water to freeze the scalded red butt. "Good chance! Now it's time for my bee friend to play!" After speaking, the bee hiding in the big water tank took its long sting and stabbed the monkey's fiery ass hard.

"It hurts! It hurts! How can there be bees in the tank? My butt hurts!" The monkey screamed and jumped around the house, and its butt was getting redder and more painful!

Finally, the monkey couldn't bear the pain, so he hurried outside the house.

At this time, the stone mortar hiding on the roof of the gate said, "Now, it's my turn to play!" Just as the monkey passed the gate, "Bang!", the heavy stone mortar suppressed the monkey who wanted to escape.

"Now let's see where you run away! You monkey is so bad! How dare you use such a cunning method to deceive the kind little crabs, see if you dare to do something next time.

The chestnut, the bee, and the stone mortar said to the monkey, "The mother crab who was knocked unconscious by you with the hard and astringent green persimmon is still lying on the bed, and its pain is several times worse than what you are suffering now!" At this time, the baby crabs also came. "Thank you! All three of you are our good friends, thank you so much for teaching us a lesson about this bad monkey."

After the monkey heard the words of the chestnut, the bee and the stone mortar, he was also ashamed and said, "I'm sorry!"

"How is it? Do you dare to do bad things again in the future? How about deceiving others?" "Don't dare! Don't dare! I will never dare to do bad things again!" The monkey who changed to be kind followed three friends to the crab's house, apologized to the mother crab and the baby crab, quickly climbed to the high persimmon tree, picked a lot of fragrant and sweet red persimmons, and then sincerely said to the corn, stone mortar, bees and crabs: "There are so many delicious red persimmons, please try your best to eat them!"

"What a sweet and fragrant red persimmon!" "Hmm! It's delicious!" Later, whenever the persimmon tree is full of red and sweet persimmons, the monkeys who can climb the tree will definitely take the initiative to help the mother crab and the baby crabs pick persimmons and share them with the stone mortar, bees, chestnuts and their friends. Everyone also forgave the monkeys who did wrong in the past. Since then, monkeys and all animals can get along peacefully. Not only can they eat delicious persimmons, but their lives are also more pleasant and fulfilling.
