Long ago, there was a thick dark forest. One winter, a group of monkeys came there. The nights were freezing cold, and the monke 原创编写 版权所有 侵权必究！ 每日更新 个性化阅读 英语飙升！ys shivered. They needed fire to keep warm.

One night, they saw a tiny light flying in the dark. “Look! Fire!” shouted a monkey. All the monkeys jumped with joy. They tried to catch the light, but it flew away. The monkeys felt sad. “We need fire to survive!” they cried.

The next night, they saw many flying lights! After many tries, the monkeys caught a few. They put the lights into a hole in the ground. “Let’s blow to make the fire bigger!” said one monkey. They blew and blew, but nothing happened.

An owl watched them from a tree. “Those aren’t real fire! They’re just insects!” the owl called. The monkeys laughed. “You don’t know anything, old owl!” shouted a monkey. The owl warned them again, “Stop this! Go find shelter in the cave nearby!” But the monkeys ignored him. They kept blowing for hours.

Midnight came, and the monkeys became tired. Finally, one monkey looked closely. “Oh no! These are just fireflies!” he said. The monkeys realized their mistake.

They hurried to the cave the owl mentioned. Inside, they stayed safe from the cold. From that day on, they learned to listen to wise advice.
