上樹猴子與上網(wǎng)老熊

薛濤

老熊與猴子怎么跑到一個故事里的——誰知道？

還成好朋友了——更沒有人知道這是怎么一回事了。

猴子這樣說的——

秋天來的時候，聽說山南邊有幾棵核桃樹，猴子就翻山過去，爬到核桃樹上采核桃吃。一不小心，卡在兩個樹杈中間，下不來了。這樣大的倒霉事情，全天下的猴子也很難撞見的。

猴子掙扎了一陣，還是出不來。

布谷鳥站在旁邊叫個不停，可是幫不上猴子。

猴子就說：“你別叫了，去喊別的人來！”

How could a monkey and a bear be in the same story？

And they even become friends！-I bet nobody would think that！

Here is what the monkey told me：

In the fall， a few years ago， the monkey heard there were some walnut trees on the southern side of the mountain， so he decided to fetch some. Somehow， he got stuck between two branches up in the tree. What bad luck！

The monkey struggled for quite a while but couldnt free himself.

A cuckoo twittered on a tree nearby， but she could not be of help either.

“Do not cry！ Please find someone who can help！” the monkey exclaimed.

布谷鳥喊來了老熊。老熊正在睡覺，迷迷糊糊來到樹下，爬了兩下。核桃樹太細，抱不住，爬不上去。老熊便退后一步，用力向核桃樹撞去。核桃樹一晃動，把猴子給晃下來了。

猴子很感激老熊的搭救之恩，作為報答，很想為老熊帶點東西過來。老熊打了個哈欠，沒想出什么來。

猴子說：“你再想想！”

老熊又打了個哈欠，說：“我一個人蹲在南山坡的山洞里，怪寂寞的，你給我?guī)€故事過來吧。”

猴子說容易容易，然后就回山北取故事。山北的故事太多了，半個小時后，猴子揣著一個故事回來了。猴子跑得氣喘吁吁的。猴子帶來的是山北一個狐貍打獵人的故事。老熊聽了，嘿嘿樂了。這個故事讓老熊整整開心兩天呢。見老熊高興，猴子答應經(jīng)常帶故事過來。

第三天，老熊又悶了。這時猴子又從北山帶來兩只螞蟻的故事。

“唉！四點五厘米的距離，這兩只螞蟻啊……”老熊滿意地睡了。

The bird asked an old bear to come to rescue. The old bear was having his nap when the bird came； he went with the bird， still feeling woozy. He tried to climb the tree but the tree was too thin for the bear to hold. He then stepped back and darted for it， giving the tree a forceful push. The tree shook fiercely and the monkey got loose.

Monkey was grateful； he wanted to give the bear something in return. He asked what the bear would like for a present. The old bear yawned but could not think of anything he wanted.

The monkey said，“please think harder！ I really want to do this！”

The bear yawned again and said， “ Well， I live alone in a cave nearby. I am lonely. Could you bring me a story ？”

“That is a piece of cake.”replied the monkey. He ran to the north side of the mountain to find some storie. There were so many stories on the north side， he was back in thirty minutes. Gasping， he told the story to the bear. It was a story of a fox hunter on the north side of the mountain. Old bear got a silly look on his face and chuckled. He was still smiling two days later. Knowing the bear liked stories， monkey promised to bring stories more often.

On the third day， the bear felt dull again. This time， the monkey brought him a story about two ants.

“Oh those poor ants！...They are just 4.5 cm apart！” said the bear. He liked that story too. He went to bed with a contented heart.

接下來，山北小馬過河的故事和小蝌蚪找媽媽的故事都帶過來。這個秋天，是老熊最滿意的秋天了。

要入冬的一天，大概是立冬那天吧。猴子又來了。困倦的老熊馬上來了精神。結果，猴子從衣兜里掏出來的不是故事，是一個樣子古怪的機器。猴子說：“老熊，這個東西叫電話，以后我不用跑到山南來，也能把故事帶給你。”

Then there was the story about a pony trying to cross a river， and a tadpole trying to find his mother... Old bear felt this was the happiest autumn ever.

The winter was approaching. One day-maybe it was the first day of winter-along came the monkey. Old bear was no longer sleepy. In fact， he was excited. He liked when monkey visited. This time， the monkey did not bring him a story； instead， he took out a strange-looking gadget. “ Look， this is a telephone-you can hear me tell you stories while I am on the north of the mountain. You dont want to be out-dated， do you？”

果然像猴子說的那樣，那年冬天，只要那個電話鈴一響，猴子不用來，老熊躺在山洞里，就可以聽見猴子找來的故事了。聽完故事再睡覺，居然治好了老熊多年的失眠。

It was magic！ Whenever he received a call from the monkey， the old bear can enjoy a story， lying on his bed in cave. He would go to sleep after story time. He used to have difficulty falling asleep； now he always fell asleep quickly and soundly.

有一天，有人敲老熊的門了，“喂喂喂，春天來了，該起床了。”

老熊很不高興。這個大山里，誰不知道冬天是他老熊睡覺的日子呢。趴門口一看，是猴子又來了。整個冬天都是通電話，老熊只聽見聲音看不見樣子，怪想念的呢。老熊趕緊給猴子開門。猴子的衣兜鼓鼓的，老熊想，帶故事來了？沒有必要親自帶過來啊？

猴子很神秘的樣子，從衣兜里掏出一個手掌大小的家什，告訴老熊，這是移動電話，以后，不用麻煩他接電話了，故事可以用發(fā)短信息的方法發(fā)給他，他只要翻開看就行了。據(jù)猴子說，他正準備經(jīng)營自己的核桃林呢。打那以后，猴子的聲音也從老熊耳邊消失了。老熊度過了一個滿天飛舞花香和短信息的春天。老熊一旦要忘記猴子的樣子和聲音的時候，就想想猴子過去講給他的故事。這樣，猴子的樣子和聲音就又回到老熊身邊了。

夏天里的某一個下午，老熊收到猴子第一個不是故事的短信息：“有新禮物送給你，注意查收。呵呵！猴子。”

老熊就想，這個猴子又搞什么新花樣呢……剛剛想到第N種情形，有人來敲老熊的門了。老熊以為是猴子來了，眼淚都要流出來了。別說猴子的樣子，連聲音都幾個月沒聽見了。打開門一看，不是猴子，是電腦公司的業(yè)務員上門服務來了，還帶來了猴子的禮物：一臺電腦。業(yè)務員在老熊的洞里接線鉆眼兒的，一會兒就完成了。接著，他又用最簡易的方法教會了老熊上網(wǎng)。

One day， when the old bear was still in hibernation， someone knocked on his door. Old bear heard a voice，“Get up！ Come on-it is spring！”

Old bear was most displeased. Who on this mountain would not know this is time for Old bears sleep？ He looked through the peephole. It was Monkey！ How he had missed his friend ！ They hadnt seen each other all winter！ He jerked the door open and saw that monkeys pocket bulged. Is that a story in there？

Monkey looked like he was holding a big secret and took out a palm-sized device. He told Old Bear this was a cell phone， which would let him receive stories via text message. He also told the bear that he was going to have a forest of walnut trees！ When the monkey left， he seemed to take his voice away with him-it was no longer heard in the bears home. For the old bear， this spring was full of flower scent and short texts. When the bear was on the edge of forgetting his friends face and voice ， he would try to remember their past. In this way， he managed to keep the monkeys company.

One summer afternoon， He received a text message-not a story， but a word from the monkey for the first time. It said， “ I have a new present for you！ Please check！ Yours Monkey. ”

“What in the world could this be？” the bear murmured to himself. Then he heard a knock on the door. Almost in tears， the bear opened the door. How badly he had missed Monkeys voice！ But it was not the monkey. it was a clerk from a computer company bringing him a personal computer-the present from Monkey. Very soon the computer was installed. Before he left， the tech guy taught Old Bear how to use the computer.

業(yè)務員剛走，猴子的短信息就來了：“直接到笑哈哈故事網(wǎng)去吧，那里面的故事比山北的故事精彩多了。呵呵！猴子。”

于是老熊馬上體驗到了網(wǎng)絡故事的精彩。這些故事沖淡了對猴子的想念。

有一天，猴子發(fā)來短信息說，他的核桃林很茂盛，他整天在核桃林里忙著，他要發(fā)財了。然后，猴子的短信息也漸漸從老熊的生活中消失了。老熊覺得，他和猴子大概就要互相忘記了。每每想到這兒，老熊就張望著山北的方向，無限感傷。

東北的秋天說來就來，一場霜下來，山林便金燦燦的了。據(jù)猴子的短信說他的核桃林豐收了，還從網(wǎng)上把核桃的圖片傳給老熊看。老熊就想，要是猴子發(fā)財了，也不錯啊。

有一天，老熊正對著電腦發(fā)傻，突然接到猴子的短信息：“快點打開電腦，去百度給我搜索怎樣從兩個樹杈中間脫身的辦法。呵呵……猴子。”

爬樹被樹杈卡住，這種難遇的倒霉事居然讓猴子撞上兩次。老熊急匆匆回道：“我去救你！”

猴子回道：“太慢，網(wǎng)上有的是辦法。快查！呵……”

Monkeys text message arrived just as the techie left.

“Go surfing online now！ You can find all your favorite stories on www.lol.com！ yours. ”

There the bear went ， and immediately liked what he saw. How fantastic it was to be online！ Days passed and now Old Bear did not feel he missed the monkey as much.

One day the bear received a message which said“I am very busy now with my walnut trees. I am going to be rich！” From that day on， the bear no longer received as many messages as he used to. “Maybe we are going to forget each other.“Old bear looked in the direction of north mountain and he felt sad.

Another autumn was here. After the first frost， the mountain was carpeted in yellow and red . In Monkeys message， he said the harvest was good， and he sent a picture of his walnut trees. The old bear said to himself， well， this guy was gonna to be rich； that is fine.

One day， Old Bear was staring blankly at the computer when he received a message from Monkey.“Plz use Baidu to search online for ways to get loose from a tree； I got stuck again！ Monkey.”

How unlucky he was！ The bear thought about it and replied，“stay right there！ I will come to your rescue！”

Monkey replied，“That will be too slow if I wait for you. Just search online； there will be so many good suggestions！”

老熊趕緊上網(wǎng)查自救的辦法。辦法有很多，老熊選出幾個最好的，打電話告訴給猴子。他聽見了猴子的聲音，很熟悉也很慌張。猴子按照網(wǎng)上介紹的步驟操作，結果還是不能脫身。猴子便打電話給老熊，讓他換“搜狗”試試。老熊含混地答應了一聲。過了很長時間，再沒有回音了。猴子急了，打電話過去，聽筒告訴他：“您撥的用戶關機或不在服務區(qū)，請稍后再撥。”猴子幾次打去，都是這個回應。原來，厚道的老熊也不可靠啊……猴子傷心地望著頭頂?shù)奶炜眨^望了。

砰！砰！砰！沉重的腳步聲從核桃林外傳過來，這聲音有點耳熟。

很快，老熊又壯又笨的樣子出現(xiàn)在核桃林……

隨著核桃樹兩下劇烈的晃動，猴子從樹杈中間脫身出來。

老熊嘿嘿一笑，“還是這法兒管用！”

猴子輕輕落在老熊面前，“還是這法兒管用。”

然后猴子和老熊，在山北的核桃林里坐了下來。秋陽照耀著核桃林，也照耀著猴子和老熊。

猴子說：“還是給你講講山北邊的故事吧。”

老熊嘿嘿笑了，“我看行。”

猴子就開始給老熊講這山北邊的故事。

猴子講的故事剛剛開始，我的故事講完了。如果沒聽夠，去網(wǎng)上看吧，網(wǎng)上的故事更精彩。

The bear did a search and found a few good suggestions. He called monkey. He heard a familiar voice but now it was rushed. Monkey tried a few of the ideas but failed to get loose. Monkey called back， asking him to try Sogou， another search engine. Old bear grumbled something and put down the cell phone. Monkey did not hear from Old Bear for a long time， so he called back. But he got an automated message “The phone you are calling is has been powered off. Please try your call again later.” For the first time， Monkey felt he could trust no one. He looked at the sky with a heavy heart. He was almost ready to give up.

Thump！ Thump！ Thump！ Foot steps were heard from outside of the walnut forest. It sounded familiar.

Very soon， Old Bear， awkward and stout， lumbered up to the tree where the monkey was hanging.

One！ Two！The walnut tree was shaken hard. The monkey got loose.

Old Bear chuckled，“I told you the old method is the best！”

Monkey made a swift jump， landing before the bear，“Yes， you are right. The old method works better.”

The two friends sat amongst the trees in the warmth of the sunshine.

“Let me tell you more of stories of the North Mountain.” the monkey said.

“I think that is a good idea.” Old Bear smiled contentedly.

So the monkey began to tell stories to his old friend.

And this is the end of my story. Did you enjoy it？ If you did not get enough of my story， you can search online， too！ Go surfing！
