In a remote mountain village, people live happily. A gorilla often thinks, "I'm so lonely, I don't have any friends." ?
One day, the gorilla put a leaf on the big tree, which said, "I have friendship for rent, five yuan an hour." Then sit under the tree and wait, wait ...
At this moment, the little girl Mimi came by bike. Mimi and her parents who are doing research in the wild come to the forest. She is playing alone. Seeing the leaves, Mimi asked, "What is a friendship rental?"
The gorilla told Mimi, "If you give me five dollars, I will play with you for an hour." Mimi said, "Can you make it cheaper?" I only have one dollar. "The gorilla was so happy that he quickly accepted a dollar and began to use the hourglass to time and play with Mimi.
They first play the game of guessing fists and stepping on their feet, that is, "scissors, stones and cloth", and whoever loses will let the other side step on it. Gorillas can only produce cloth, while Mimi always produces scissors. As a result, the gorilla was trampled one foot after another, but finally someone came to play with himself, and he didn't care at all.
The next day, Mimi rented a friendship with a dollar and played a game of stamping her feet. The gorilla has figured out a way to make a "stone" with his fist clenched, and Mimi's "scissors" naturally lost. The gorilla held his feet high, and Mimi shrank with fear, but it didn't hurt at all to step on them. They are playing happily again.
Mimi came to rent friendship every day for the next few days, and they had a good time together. Mimi also tells stories to gorillas. Sometimes Mimi is busy doing her homework, and the gorilla will wait quietly. They have long forgotten the hourglass of timing.
On this day, the gorilla didn't bring a bag to collect money, nor did he bring an hourglass. He only brought a bag of biscuits to wait at the old place, but he couldn't wait for Mimi.
Finally, the car carrying Mimi came. Mimi said she was moving, and she had no money. She left her beloved doll as a farewell gift. The gorilla shouted "I haven't learned scissors yet" and ran after the car in vain. Gorillas are tired of cookies and miss Mimi.
The gorilla returned to the tree in disappointment: "Alas! I didn't bring small backpack or hourglass today. Take Mimi's money and treat her to cookies. However, how can she leave ? "Gorillas miss Mimi when eating cookies.
Later, he put a leaf on the tree, which said, "I have friends who rent it for free."
