Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In the hot summer, a group of little monkeys jumped up and down tirelessly on several trees on the mountain, having a great time. Wearing a straw hat on his head and shoulders, and with two wine gourds hanging on his chest, the old man struggled up from the bottom of the mountain. When he saw a large shade of trees, he stopped to rest and fell asleep after a while. The little monkeys sized up the old man, and became interested in the straw hat and wine gourd he threw on the ground.
