This is a story about a monkey. The old man liked the monkey very much. The monkey was very clever. When birds came to the garden, he drove(驱赶) them away. He also helped the old man in many other ways. A fly(苍蝇) came and sat on the end of the old man's nose. The monkey drove it away. Soon the fly came back again and sat on the old man's nose again. Again and again, the monkey became very angry. He jumped up, ran to pick up a large stone. When he came back, the fly was on the old man's nose again. The fly fell off, but the old man's nose was broken.
They do things too quickly but they don't think much before they do. Maybe they sometimes bring us trouble（麻烦）, though they mean to do something good.
