4. It is autumn now. A good harvest of grain is in sight in the cattles field. The monkey says， “It was I that ploughed6 the field for the cattle.” 到了秋天，黃牛田里的谷子豐收在望。猴子說：“這塊田是我替黃牛耕種的?！?/p>

5. The eagle finishes the nest. The monkey says， “I almost broke the back for making the nest. ”老鷹的巢造好了，猴子說：“為筑這巢我差點(diǎn)累折了腰。”

6. The rabbit finishes his hole. The monkey says， “I dont know how much effort7 and sweat I put in it.” 兔子的洞打好了，猴子說：“為了幫助兔子打洞，我不知出了多少力，流了多少汗！”
