【猴子捞月英语故事带翻译】在一个宁静的夜晚，月亮高高地挂在天空中，洒下银白色的光辉。山林里，一群小猴子在树上玩耍，它们看到水中倒映着一轮明亮的月亮，感到非常好奇。

“哇！那是什么？”一只小猴子指着水面喊道。

“那是月亮！”另一只猴子兴奋地回答，“我们是不是也能把它捞上来？”

于是，猴子们决定想办法把月亮从水里捞出来。它们一个接一个地倒挂在树上，试图用爪子去抓水中的“月亮”。可是，每当它们靠近水面，水中的月亮就不见了，仿佛被风吹走了。

“它怎么总是躲起来？”一只猴子抱怨道。

“也许我们需要更多人一起帮忙！”另一只猴子提议。

于是，猴子们排成一列，像一条长长的链条，一个接一个地倒挂着，试图把月亮从水里拉上来。它们努力地伸长手臂，但无论怎么努力，水中的月亮始终无法被抓住。

最后，一只年长的猴子终于明白了：“我们是在和自己的影子玩闹。月亮并不在水里，它在天上。”

猴子们听了之后，都低下了头，感到有些不好意思。它们意识到自己犯了一个错误，只是因为看到了水中的倒影，就以为月亮真的掉进了水里。

从此以后，猴子们学会了更加仔细地观察世界，不再轻易相信自己的眼睛。

英文原文：

The Monkeys and the Moon

One quiet night, the moon hung high in the sky, casting a silver light. In the forest, a group of monkeys were playing on the trees. They saw the bright moon reflected in the water and became very curious.

"Wow! What is that?" one monkey shouted, pointing at the water.

"That's the moon!" another monkey exclaimed excitedly. "Can we also bring it up from the water?"

So the monkeys decided to try to catch the moon from the water. One by one, they hung upside down from the trees, trying to reach the "moon" with their paws. But every time they got close to the surface, the moon in the water disappeared, as if it had been blown away by the wind.

"Why is it always hiding?" one monkey complained.

"Maybe we need more monkeys to help!" another suggested.

So the monkeys formed a line, like a long chain, hanging one after another, trying to pull the moon out of the water. They stretched their arms as far as they could, but no matter how hard they tried, the moon in the water remained out of reach.

Finally, an old monkey realized: "We're just playing with our own reflection. The moon is not in the water; it's in the sky."

The monkeys listened and felt a bit ashamed. They realized they had made a mistake, simply because they saw the reflection and thought the moon had fallen into the water.

From then on, the monkeys learned to observe the world more carefully and did not easily believe what they saw with their eyes.
