Origin Story
小猴子豆豆特别好动，它一会儿爬上树，一会儿跳下地，一会儿又追逐蝴蝶，一会儿又摘树叶玩耍。它的妈妈常常担心它会受伤，经常告诫它要小心谨慎。可是豆豆根本不听，仍然猴头猴脑地到处乱跑。一天，豆豆在树林里玩耍的时候，不小心掉进了一个泥潭里，浑身都沾满了泥巴。它吓得大哭起来，妈妈闻声赶来，把它从泥潭里救了出来，并耐心地教育它，要改掉猴头猴脑的坏习惯。豆豆经过这次教训，终于明白了妈妈的苦心，开始变得更加稳重、细心了。
Little monkey Dou Dou was very active. He would climb trees, jump to the ground, chase butterflies, and play with leaves. His mother often worried about him getting injured and warned him to be careful. But Dou Dou didn't listen and continued to run around recklessly. One day, while playing in the forest, Dou Dou accidentally fell into a mud pit and was covered in mud. He cried out in fright, and his mother rushed over and rescued him from the mud pit, patiently teaching him to change his restless habits. After this lesson, Dou Dou finally understood his mother's concern and began to become more steady and careful.
