There once was a happy monkey in the jungle. He was wandering all days, eating delicious fruit when hungry and 36 when tired. One day he came upon a house, where he saw a bowl of the most beautiful 37 . He took one in each hand and ran back into the forest.
The monkey tried to eat them, but hurt his teeth. The apples were made of wood, but they were beautiful, and when the other monkeys said that they 38 them, he held onto them even tighter.
The monkey admired his new possessions proudly as he wandered the jungle. The two apples glistened (闪亮) red in the 39 , and seemed perfect to him. He became so attached to them that he didn’t even notice his 40 at first.
A fruit tree reminded him, but he felt the apples in his hands. He couldn’t bear to set them down to reach for the fruit. In fact, he couldn’t 41 , either, if he was to defend his apples. This proud, but less happy monkey continued to walk along the forest trails (小路).
The apples became 42 , and the poor little monkey thought about leaving them behind. He was tired and hungry; he couldn’t climb trees or collect fruit with his hands 43 . What if he just let go (释放)?
Letting go of such 44 things seemed crazy, but what else could he do? He was so tired. Seeing the next fruit tree and smelling its fruit, the monkey stopped. He 45 the wooden apples and reached up for his meal. He was happy again.
Like that little monkey, we 46 carry things that seem too valuable. Letting go of them seems crazy. But 47 : only with open hands can we receive something else.
