In the forest, there lived a group of monkeys. One day, a hunter went hunting in the forest, and all the animals ran away when they heard the hunter's footsteps, and the group of monkeys also fled to the interior of the forest with other animals. Only one little monkey hid in the tree and did not escape.It looked at the hunter in the bushes, and felt how noble that hunter was. He didn't have hair that would grow lice, and he was wearing a tiger and leopard fur robe, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, how handsome and mighty!And all the animals ran away immediately when they saw him, how brave and great!

"Oh! How noble is man! I don't want to be a monkey anymore, I want to learn to be a man." So, the little monkey slowly moved out of the forest and lived on the edge of the forest. At this time, it felt how happy people are, living in houses with lights, while monkeys can only live in the dark forest; Noble, but the monkey can only squat and walk; the little monkey must learn the determination to be a human being. It runs outside the forest every day to observe people's movements and life. When it sees people walking, it learns to walk like people. When you see people plowing the fields, learn how to plow the fields.

Seeing people laugh, it grinned too. This little monkey has completely forgotten that he is a monkey. He feels very lonely if he does not see people for a day. Whenever he sees people, he happily walks to them and imitates their movements. The people at the edge of the forest saw that the little monkey was very cute, and they liked it very much. They brought something to feed it every day, and saw that it learned to be a human being. Look, this little monkey has the heart of a man, it's really rare!" They stroked the little monkey's head and said, "You are becoming more and more human."

Sit and chat with the little monkey. Hold the little monkey's hand and dance. From a distance, the little monkey really looks like a person. The little monkey also felt that he was no different from a human except that he could not speak. One day, the farmer went to the field to plant beans, and the little monkey also learned how to grab a handful of beans and plant them in the field, but it accidentally dropped a bean, so it lost the handful of beans in its hand, and went to find the one. The lost bean, it didn't find the lost bean, but when it came back, it found that the other beans had also been eaten by the birds.

The farmer laughed and said, "After all, a monkey is still a monkey." The little monkey was very sad when he heard this, and realized that he was a monkey, so he ran back to the forest to find his companion, but his actions were so human-like that his companion didn't know him at all.
