Features: On a hot summer day, the scorching sun baked the earth. On the lush green slopes, in the dense forests, a group of monkeys swung and played joyfully. An old grandfather was struggling to climb up from the hillside. He wore a straw hat, carried a stack of straw hats on his shoulder, and hung two wine gourds on his chest. With the rhythm of his steps, the hats rose and fell, and the wine gourds bumped against each other, producing a pleasant sound. Finally, the old grandfather reached the forest. Under a large tree, he wiped his sweat and felt a bit of coolness, so he placed the hats on the ground, took off the wine gourds, and sat in the shade to rest. The monkeys peeked out from the bushes, wide-eyed and curiously watching the passing old grandfather. He picked up a gourd, tilted his head back, took a sip, savored it, and felt quite refreshed. After a while, the old grandfather leaned against the tree and fell asleep comfortably. The monkeys gradually moved closer to the old grandfather one by one, then quickly climbed to nearby trees, hiding among the leaves and secretly watching his movements.
