The monkey salvage the moon
One day, a little monkey is playing by the well. He looks in the well and shouts, “Oh! My god! The moon has fallen into the well!”
An older monkey runs over, takes a look and says, “Goodness me! The moon is really in the water!”
And elderly monkey comes over. He is very surprised as well and cries out, “The moon is in the well.”
A group of monkeys run over to the well. They look at the moon in the well and shout, “The moon did fall into the well! Come on! Let’s get it out!”
Then, the oldest monkey hangs on the tree upside down, with his feet on the branch. And he pulls the next monkey’s feet with his hands. All the other monkeys follow his suit, and they join each other one by one down to the moon in the well. Just before they reach the moon, the oldest monkey raises his head and happens to see the moon in the sky, he yells excitedly, “Don’t be so foolish! The moon is still in the sky!”
猴子捞月一天,一只小猴子正在井边玩儿。
它往井里一瞧,大声喊道:“噢!天呐!月亮掉到井里啦!”
一只大猴子跑来一看,说:“糟了!月亮真地掉在井里啦!”
老猴子也跑过来。
他也非常惊奇,大声喊道:“糟了,月亮掉在井里了!”
一群猴子跑到井边,他们看着井里的月亮喊道:“月亮的确是掉进井里啦!快点儿!我们把它捞出来吧!”
然后,老猴子倒挂在大树上,拉住另一只猴子的脚,其它的猴子都仿照他们样子,一只连着一只直到井里。
就在他们要捞到月亮时,老猴子一抬头碰巧发现月亮挂在天上。
它兴奋地大叫:“别这么傻了!月亮还好好地挂在天上呢!”

正值北京奥运会开幕式前整整一千天之际,五个奥运会吉祥物揭开了神秘的面纱。
人们翘首以待的奥运吉祥物代表了中国最受欢觃的四种动物——鱼、熊猫、藏羚羊及燕子。

每个吉祥物都有一个叠音名字。
在中国,叠音名字是对孩子们表示喜爱的一种传统方式。
贝贝代表鱼,晶晶代表熊猫,欢欢代表奥运圣火,觃觃代表藏羚羊,而妮妮代表燕子。
把他们的名字放在一起就是“北京欢觃您!”
吉祥物的訽形及头饰充分体现了包括大海、蒧林、火、大地及天空在内的大自然的五大元素。
这些特别的头饰也充分展示了中国的民间艺术及传统文化。
每一个吉祥物也代表着不同的祝福——繁荣、欢乐、激情、健康和好运。
这是第一次有三个以上的吉祥物共同承担代表东道国的重任。
吉祥物设计组组长韩美林解释说:“中国有如此博大精深的文化,不是一个吉祥物就能完全展示出来的。
所以我们选择设计出五个而不是一个的吉祥物。
