What a noise!
EEK! EEK! EEK!
The monkeys are swinging through the trees and shouting.
They leap from branch to branch and land cleverly without slipping.
Then...EEK!
One monkey falls out of the tree.
‘Ouch! My bottom!’ he shrieks, as he lands with a bump.
But why are they shouting?
好吵??！
唷[yō]！唷！??！
猴子們穿梭于樹木間蕩悠，叫嚷。
它們從一顆樹干跳到另一顆樹干，
穩(wěn)穩(wěn)當當?shù)厍擅盥淠_。
接著...唷！
一只猴子從樹上往下墜。
“哎呦！我的屁股哪！”他尖叫著，
然后他撲通落地。
但是啊，它們狂叫些什么呢？
