About this story
《猴子捞月》是流传很广的中国民间故事，讲一群猴子以为月亮掉进了井里，倒挂成一长串去捞，最后才发现井里只是月亮的影子。较早的版本见于东晋时译出的佛经《摩诃僧祇律》，那里的猴子们挂在树枝上去捞井中的月亮，结果树枝断了，全都掉进了井里。这一版沿用今天孩子们熟悉的温和结局，让小猴子、小花猴、大猴子和老猴子都开口说话。

Tips for telling it
- 讲之前可以端一盆水，让孩子看看水里的灯或月亮的倒影，听故事时更容易明白“影子”是怎么回事。
- 月亮一碎一圆那段可以放慢，让孩子猜：月亮到底捞得上来吗？
- 结尾可以带出歇后语“猴子捞月——一场空”，告诉孩子它说的是白忙一场。
