Features: There is something called eternity, like the stars in the sky, the streams in the mountains, and in your hands. These beautiful fairy tales, classics, and stories are classics that you must read in your life every day. This youth edition of world literary classics is selected according to the designated by the new curriculum standards for Chinese. On the basis of referring to and learning the many advantages and strengths of previous translations, we have highly condensed them while remaining faithful to the original works, preserving the outline and essence of the originals. They are also accompanied by vivid illustrations and helpful annotations, making them rich in visuals and easy to understand, as much as possible in line with the development of the times and society, and as suitable as possible for young readers. This makes it easier for primary and secondary school students to read and absorb. A Turkish caravan crosses the ancient desert, and their lives are so dull and monotonous. Someone suggests that during the rest breaks, each person tells a story for entertainment. The stories accompany them as they walk out of the desolate desert. A monkey disguises itself as a gentleman in high society and mixes in, receiving special praise from the mayor and others. It struts around the city, making a name for itself, enjoying great fame and honor, and deceives people into eating and drinking everywhere. But in the end, they lose all face and become utterly disgraced. Why is that?
