狒狒的雨伞。狒狒每天都会在密林里散步。一天，它在路上遇见了朋友长臂猿。我的朋友，长臂猿说，天气这么好，你竟然撑着雨伞。是的。狒狒说，我感到非常恼火。讨厌的伞收不起来，它给卡住了。我本来想带伞散步以防备下雨。但是，正如你看到的，我在这伞下不能享受阳光。这太糟糕了。有个简单的办法。长臂猿说，现在你在伞上挖几个洞，太阳不就照到你了吗？好主意！我怎么就没有想到呢！还是你聪明！狒狒大声说。于是，它在伞的顶部剪了几个大大的洞，温暖的阳光透过洞照下来了，非常温暖。要是下雨还能遮雨，现在又能享受到阳光，真是两全其美！狒狒说。一会儿，太阳就消失了，接着便下起了倾盆大雨。雨水从伞上的洞落了下来。只一会儿工夫，倒霉的狒狒便浑身湿透了。大道理：害怕风雨就有可能错过阳光；在享受阳光的同时，也得承受点风雨。事物到处都有两面性，人所需要做的就是力求两全其美。
