Monkeys catch the moon.

The next sentence of the two-part allegorical saying "The monkey catches the moon" is "Nothing".

"Monkeys fishing for the moon" comes from Zhu Lin in Fa Yuan Yu Pian Zabu. This story is about a group of monkeys playing in the Woods. A little monkey ran to a well beside the forest to play alone. He lay by the well, put his neck into the well and suddenly shouted, "Oh, no!" " The moon fell into the well. "

The old monkey suggested, "Stop yelling and let's find a way to raise the moon." All the monkeys are duty-bound to respond to the old monkey's suggestion and join the team of fishing for the moon. There is an old pagoda tree by the well. The old monkey jumped into the tree first and hung upside down. The other monkeys held my legs one by one, and I hooked your head and hung it into a long strip, lowering my head and walking deep into the well.

The little monkey is very light and hangs at the bottom. Its hand reaches into the well water, and it can't catch the moon except a few drops of water. At this time, the old monkey looked up and suddenly found that the moon was still in the sky. He said loudly, "Stop fishing, stop fishing, the moon is still in the sky." All the monkeys look up at the sky. The moon in the sky is really good. Because the monkeys don't know the truth about the moon in the well and don't take it seriously, they are busy, stupid and ridiculous.
