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。
有一天,山林起火了,猴爸爸和猴妈妈催促小猴子赶快逃命。小猴子跑到半路,想起心爱的包包和书本忘了拿,于是折回头去。当它拿了东西,往逆风方向逃时,看到一只鼬狸老婆婆因为年老走不动,正著急著。小猴子很不忍心,就教老婆婆趴在它的背上,然后很快地再向前跑。
不久,又看到一只鼷鼠害怕地高喊:谁能带我离开这里呢?救救我的命啊!小猴子问它为何不赶快跑呢?它说:我白天看不到东西,晚上才看得见,所以现在不知道要往哪里跑?小猴子说:来,你躲进我的包包里,我带你逃走。鼷鼠果真跳进包包里,小猴子就背著老婆婆和鼷鼠,继续朝著逆风方向一直跑。
跑到尽头时,却发现前面是很深的悬崖!如何才能逃到对面山坡呢?如果掉下去,必然粉身碎骨!该如何是好?
眼看大火浓烟渐渐逼近,小猴子很著急,抬头看看四周──啊!有了!有一棵松树长在悬崖边,树枝向对面伸得很长,虽然离对岸还有一段距离,但可以用藤条绑著树枝跳过去。
小猴子教老婆婆抱紧它的背,又教鼷鼠躲在包包里不要出来,然后拉住藤条,一鼓作气全力一跳,果真跳过去了!老婆婆很感动地说:小猴子啊,你真的很勇敢、很有爱心!森林发生火灾,大家都只顾著自己逃命,而你却冒险解救与你素不相识的`我及鼷鼠。你真是这座山的爱之神,是众生的活菩萨!
清净无染的本性,是一切生命所共同拥有的,即使是兽类,也有这分智慧和爱心。众生只要将心中的五毒清除干净,这片心地就是世间最美的境界。
像那只小猴子,不管听到什么声音,都觉得很奇妙;不论看到任何生命形态,都觉得是天地之间的美景;有灾难发生时,不仅自救也愿救人,这就是真正的本性。
人心与佛心、菩萨心一样,都有圆满的大爱,我们时刻多用心,保护好这分世间最珍贵的自性宝藏!
每次当我给它们喂食的时侯,鱼儿们总是争先恐后地钻出水面,小嘴一张一合的,“叭叭”直响网 ,仿佛在喊:“主人,我先吃,给我先……”有时甚至会奋力跳出水面,来争抢我手中的食物,上演了一出精彩的'“鲤鱼跃龙门”。吃饱之后,它们会沉到水底休息,有时也会互相追着对方的尾巴游。追着,追着,几条鱼儿最后竟然会绕成一个圈,好像在跳圆圈舞,可有趣了。睡觉时,“小公主”们就会用鱼翅轻轻地拍打着小鱼,像是母亲怀抱着婴儿哄他睡觉一样……
每当我学习感到疲惫,为解不开的数学题而烦恼时,都会来到鱼缸前,静静地看着鱼儿在水中无忧无虑地玩耍,仿佛我也加入了它们的游戏。顿时,烦恼便消失得无影无踪,精力充沛的我又可以重新投入到紧张的学习中。
我喜欢这些活泼、可爱的小鱼儿。
