Beside a clear small river, a little monkey built a new house. When the old monkey saw the house, he praised that the house was constructed well.

The little bear looked at the roof ridge of the house and said to the monkey: “Your house is very beautiful, but the roof ridge of the new house is too low, not tall and straight. If you raise it a little, the house will be better.” The little monkey thought what the little bear said was reasonable, so he quickly climbed to the roof and heightened the roof ridge much with bricks.

When the little elephant saw the door of the house, he said to the monkey: “You have built such a nice house! However, there is one problem: the door of the new house is too small. It is not spacious enough. If the door is changed bigger, the house must look better.” The little monkey also thought the little elephant’s words made sense, so he quickly knocked down some of the wall with a hammer, thus the door of the house was heightened and widened a lot.

The little squirrel looked at the window of the new house, he said to the little monkey: “The house you have built is good, but the windows of the new house are too large. It is not safe enough. If they are changed smaller, it would be much better.” This time, the little monkey considered the squirrel’s words as reasonable as well. Then he bricked most of every window frame with bricks in a hurry, thus all the windows are much smaller than before.

In this way, the little monkey had changed the new house again and again until it changed beyond recognition. Seeing this, the old monkey said to him: “The house was originally very good. How could you change it like this” The little was rather puzzled and asked: “Are the recommendations proposed by partners not correct” The old monkey said: “You should have your own mind. How can you change according to what other people said Now, a good house has been reformed neither fish nor fowl. What a pity!”
