Chinese Story – Monkey’s Wear Straw Hats -猴子戴草帽

Short stories are a great way to learn Chinese. It can put your existing knowledge into a different context, helps you remember and of course you may learn a few new characters along the way. I’ve just posted this story on YouTube and wanted to share it with you.



猴子戴草帽

爷爷在树林里休息,旁边放着十几草帽。一群猴子从树上救下来抢草帽,一个`一顶,戴上就跑。爷爷急得满头大汗。他摘下帽子,一边擦汗,一边想办法。猴子看见了,也摘下帽子擦汗。爷爷笑了。他把草帽仍在地上,猴子看见了,就把草帽也仍了下来。

English Translation

Monkey’s Wear Straw Hats

An old man was relaxing in the forest, he put beside him ten straw hats. A gang of monkeys came down from the trees, each grabbed a hat, just put it on and ran. The old man was so worried his head was full of sweat. He took off his hat, he wiped away the sweat while thinking of a solution. The monkeys saw and also took off their hats and wiped away their sweat. The old man laughed. He grabbed his hat and threw it on the floor, the monkey’s saw, they just grabbed their hats and threw them down.

I love this story, it’s filled with Chinese wisdom. Hope you like the video.
