The story of the orchard begins in prose

(1)

A long time ago, a slope at the foot of the mountain was covered with weeds. Tiger, the king of the mountain, sent the deer to plant fruit trees. Several years passed and the fruit trees grew. In autumn, the entire slope is filled with the aroma of fruit.

Minister Fox inspected the territory and came to the orchard. When he saw the branches were full of fruits, he happily praised the deer and asked: "Can you eat so many fruits?"

The little deer said: "I will share the fruit with the white rabbit, goat, little bear and squirrel."

"Okay, okay. I will go back to the mountain to ask the king for merit and grant you a title." As the director of this orchard.”

“I don’t want to be the director of the orchard. I can’t help but feel so happy when I see everyone eating the fruits.”

The fox minister praised the deer again and went to inspect other places.

Soon, the flower magpie came to deliver a message: "Brother Xiaolu, Minister Fox invites you to go up the mountain."

Xiaolu said: "Please You tell the minister that I don’t want to be a garden director, so I won’t go up the mountain.”

Hua Xieqie smiled: “I’m not making you the garden director, but sending you a garden director.”

"Sister-in-law Magpie, are you telling the truth? If you don't let the little deer be the director of the garden, who will be the director?" The goat asked, raising his face and pouting his beard.

"I heard that the king asked Brother Monkey to be the director of the orchard."

"He is a good actor in the mountains. Can he be the director of the orchard?" The little bear shook his head. Said with a face.

"Brother Bear, go and reason with the king. Maybe the king will change his mind." said the little white rabbit.

"You said it so lightly. If you don't look at it, how can any of us be eloquent?" After Little Bear said this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn't say anything.

The little deer raised his head, looked at the high mountains and the deep clouds, and said to his friends: "This orchard is not my own, it belongs to everyone. Whoever the king allows to be the director of the garden deserves it. "Besides, Brother Monkey is smarter than me, and he can manage the orchard better." After that, the deer walked towards the mountain under the guidance of the flower magpie.

The next day, Xiaolu met Minister Fox in a cave lit with candles.

"Please sit down. You have worked hard in the past few years and have done good things for everyone. I have reported it to the king." Minister Fox paused for a while and then said: "I mentioned to the king that you should be named Director, I didn’t know that the king assigned me to the monkey.”

“Minister, I said I don’t want to be the director, but I’m afraid of Brother Monkey...”

"You don't have to be afraid of anything. I know that little Hericium. He is very good at dealing with things and is loved by the King. He will get along well with you. I am worried that you are not willing to teach him the skills of the orchard. ."

"Minister, I will help Brother Monkey take care of the orchard,"

"I'm relieved, you can go down the mountain with Monkey tomorrow."

The monkey swaggered into the orchard, and the deer followed behind silently.

"Brother Xiaolu, first give me a comprehensive report on the situation in the orchard."

"Okay. That year, the king sent me to plant fruit trees."

"It goes without saying. You tell me how many fruit trees there are in this forest. What kind of fruits do they bear, and which ones are the most delicious?”

The deer told the monkey one by one.

"Tell me, how many fruits do we have now?"

"How many more baskets are there."

The monkey hung himself upside down on a tree branch. , head down, stretching, and said disdainfully: "It's just a little fruit. But it's enough for me to entertain the neighbors tomorrow."

The deer followed the monkey's instructions and invited the white rabbit, goat, bear and squirrel.

"Dear friends, I have invited you here today, firstly to meet you, and secondly to invite you to taste the fruits we have grown."

Everyone looked at the deer and the red fruits, but no one moved.

The monkey was a little embarrassed, so he grabbed a piece of fruit and ate it. While eating, he said, "Actually, I really don't want to be the director of this garden. But, the king wants me to be the director of this garden, so I will." Take it." He said, grabbing another fruit and eating it.

The squirrel shook its beautiful big tail, jumped forward and said, "Brother Monkey invited us to eat fruits as soon as he came. He is so clever."

"Yes. , eat it. This is what brother Xiaolu wants." The white rabbit agreed and ate the fruit with the squirrel.

When the deer saw that the goat and the bear did not eat the fruit, he said, "You two should eat it too. This is the kindness of our director."

The goat shook his beard and said: " We have eaten a lot since the park opened. You should save some for winter." After that, he turned and left.

The little bear panted heavily and turned his back to the monkey.

Everyone knew that the story of the orchard had begun, and no one said a word, just eating the fruits.
