On a peaceful evening, a group of monkeys were playing in the forest. Suddenly, a monkey spotted a bright disc in the well, and it cried out in amazement: "Behold, there is a moon in the well!" ”
The other monkeys gathered around, all curious about the disc. "This must be the moon falling from the sky! A monkey said.
We've got to pick up the moon or it's going to disappear!" Another monkey suggested.
So, the monkeys began to find a way to catch the moon. One by one, they hung upside down from the branches, trying to catch the moon with their hands. However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not touch the moon.
We need longer branches! "A clever monkey thought of a way. The monkeys ran to find longer branches, forming a long "monkey ladder". However, when the monkey at the top reached for the moon, the moon suddenly disappeared.
The moon must have been scared away! The monkeys said disappointedly.
At this time, an old monkey came over. It looked at the busy figures of the monkeys and laughed: "Children, what you see is not the real moon, it is only the reflection of the moon. The real moon is in the sky, and you can't catch it. ”
It dawned on the monkeys that they had been doing useless work.
This story teaches us that sometimes we can be fooled by superficial phenomena and think that what we see is the truth. But in reality, we need to think and observe more deeply to truly understand the essence of things.
