English Original
King Wu embarked on a journey to admire the scenic mountains within his domain. Accompanied by his stately honor guard, he ascended a peak.
The mountain monkeys fled in fear from the king's attendants, all except for one large monkey, which showed not the slightest sign of alarm.
To display its bravery, the monkey flaunted its cleverness and dexterity. It even reached out its paw, caught an arrow shot by King Wu, and began brandishing it. Enraged by this sight, the king waved his hand, and all his attendants fired their arrows at once. The monkey found it impossible to dodge the volley. Struck by multiple arrows, it died clinging to a tree.

吴王出游，巡视其辖地内的山川美景。在威仪凛凛的仪仗队护卫下，吴王登上一座山峰。
山中的猴子被吴王的随从吓得四散奔逃，唯有一只大猴子毫无惧色。
为了炫耀自己的勇敢，这只猴子百般卖弄其机敏与灵巧。它甚至伸出爪子，接住了吴王射向它的箭，并开始挥舞。吴王见状大怒，一挥手，左右侍从一齐放箭。猴子难以躲避这阵箭雨，身中数箭，抱树而亡。
