桃木做的小猴子

三年级的时候，妈妈给我买了一个小物件--桃木做的小猴子。因为我是属猴的，所以我可喜欢了。

记得那是暑假里，妈妈带我去普陀山旅游。我无意中看见一家卖小物件的商店，只有十几平方米，里面挂着各种各样的小挂件，有凶猛的大老虎、美丽的小兔子、还有可爱的小山羊……

妈妈走了过来，对我说:“儿子，来挑一挑想要哪一个?”我左看看，右瞧瞧，那么多的挂件，看得我眼花缭乱。我挑了几分钟都没挑好。突然，我看见一个用桃木做的小猴子。小猴子的耳朵和眼睛都非常大，鼻子小小的，嘴巴笑得眯成了一条缝，非常可爱。卖挂件的人还在小猴子上刻了我的名字，我非常喜欢它。

回到家里，我对这个小猴子爱不释手。吃饭的时候，我把小猴子放在我的身边。睡觉的时候，我把它放在床边，和他一起睡觉。一天下午，我想:能不能把小猴子变得更帅气一点?于是，我拿起小刀在它明亮的眼睛上架了一副大大的眼镜，在他身上刻了一件小巧的衣服，我把一个普通的小猴变成了一个帅气、可爱的贵族小猴子了!我拿着小猴子给妈妈看，妈妈说:“不错嘛，我的儿子成了一个小服装设计师了!”听到夸奖，我的心里美滋滋的。

这个小猴子给我带来了许许多多的快乐，一直伴随着我到现在。

When I was in the third grade, my mother bought me a small object - a little monkey made of peach wood. I like it because I'm a monkey.

I remember that during the summer vacation, my mother took me to Mount Putuo for a tour. I accidentally saw a shop selling small items, only a dozen square meters, with all kinds of small pendants hanging in it, including ferocious tigers, beautiful little rabbits, and cute little goats...

My mother came over and said to me, "Son, come and choose which one do you want?" I looked left and right, and I was dazzled by so many pendants. I've been picking for a few minutes and haven't picked it yet. Suddenly, I saw a little monkey made of peach wood. The little monkey has very big ears and eyes, a small nose, and a mouth that narrows into a slit with a smile, very cute. The person who sold the pendant also engraved my name on the little monkey, which I absolutely love.

Back home, I fell in love with this little monkey. While eating, I put the little monkey by my side. When I go to bed, I put it next to the bed and sleep with him. One afternoon, I thought: Can I make the little monkey more handsome? So, I took a knife and put a pair of big glasses on its bright eyes, and carved a small piece of clothing on him. The ordinary little monkey has turned into a handsome and cute noble little monkey! I showed the little monkey to my mother, and my mother said: "Not bad, my son has become a little clothing designer!" Hearing the compliment, My heart is full of joy.

This little monkey has brought me a lot of joy and has been with me until now.
