一天,天气晴朗,万里无云,老师带着小朋友们去动物园看猴子。小朋友们来到动物园的假山旁,看见假山上的猴子真多呀!它们在假山上活蹦乱跳,样子可爱极了。
小猴子们有的爬上高高的假山顶上,坐在那里津津有味地吃着苹果,有的猴子在假山的一块平石上用好奇的目光打量着小朋友们,似乎在想:“这些是我们的朋友吗?”还有的猴子把香蕉顶在鼻子上,滑稽的像个小丑,它那样子好像在说:“瞧我多厉害,还能在鼻子上玩香蕉平衡木呢!”呀!还有一只猴子,它用尾巴倒挂在假山的树枝上,在空中荡来荡去,玩起了荡秋千。
这些小猴子逗得小朋友们哈哈大笑,也让小朋友们度过了快乐的时光。
小猴子在想:我是开理发店?还是开商店?还是开修理公司?还是开餐厅?还是开……它犹豫不决,经过深思熟虑以后,它义无反顾地选择了开商店。
第一天开店时,小猴子在小黑板上写道:森林商店开业了!欢迎光临!这里有新鲜的叔菜。有免子吃的胡萝卜,有能猫吃的损,还有老山羊吃的早。大家看后,捧腹大笑起来。小猴子丈二和尚摸不着头脑。原来是由于小猴子的粗心大意,把“兔”写成了“免”;把“蔬”写成了“叔”;把“萝”写成了“罗”把“熊”写成了“能”;把“笋”写成了“损”;又把“草”写成了“早”。细心的山羊给它指出了错误。
小猴看后,惭愧地背起书包,向补习班走去。
通过这个故事,让我懂得了做任何事情都要一丝不苟,不能马马虎虎。以后我尽量做一个一丝不苟的人。
