The Monkey and the Fishermen
猴子和渔夫
Once upon a time, there lived a monkey in the woods. The monkey climbed up the tree and looked down at the river everyday.
从前，树林里有一只猴子。每天猴子都会爬上树看下面的小河。
One day, the monkey saw fishermen throw a net over the river. He watched how the fishermen caught fish.
一天，猴子看见渔夫在河上扔了一个网。他看着渔夫怎么捕鱼。
Sometime after, the fishermen left the net and went to have lunch. Then, the monkey climbed down from the tree and went to the riverside. The monkey was planning to throw the net like the fishermen did.
过了一会后，渔民把网放下后吃午饭去了。然后，猴子迅速从树上爬下来跑到河边。猴子模仿渔民的样子撒网。
The monkey was confident since he was good at imitating. Yet, the net wound around the monkey when he touched it. Tied up in the net, the monkey fell into the water.
猴子很自信，因为他擅长模仿。但是当猴子抓网的时候网口正好冲着它。于是猴子紧紧地抓着网，掉进了水里。
The monkey regretted his behavior, but it was too late. "I should have learned how to use the net before touching it. After believing my prowess and showing off, I am in a bad fix." The monkey who did not behave carefully drowned in the water.
猴子对自己的行为感到很后悔，但为时已晚。“我应该学会撒网后再碰网的。过于相信自己的能力，才落得如此下场。”最后猴子被淹死了。
