      大家好,我是孙悟空!

      上次我们说到,我在花果山当“美猴王”的时候非常快乐。后来,天上的玉皇大帝还给我一个官职——让我去管理一个桃园。可你说,让我这个猴子去看桃子,不就是故意引诱我犯错吗?

      于是我就偷吃了不少仙桃,还破坏了天上的宴会,后来又偷偷吃了太上老君的仙丹。玉皇大帝大怒,把我抓住,丢进太上老君的炼丹炉里烧了四十九天!

      结果呢?我不仅没被烧死,反而炼成了“火眼金睛”!从此,我的眼睛能看穿妖魔鬼怪,再厉害的伪装也骗不了我。很多妖怪会变成老人、孩子来骗唐僧,我一眼就能看穿他们,一棒子打回原形!

      “火眼金睛” 这个成语,也就是从这儿来的。它的意思是:眼睛特别厉害,看事情特别清楚,能分辨真假。

      在现实生活中,我们也需要“火眼金睛”。比如:看到网上广告说“吃了这个药马上变瘦”,听起来很好,其实可能是假的。或者有人打电话说“你中奖了” ,其实是骗子。这时候,你们就要像我孙悟空一样,提高警惕,认真判断,不让坏人得逞。

      “火眼金睛” 不是只有我才有,每个人都可以练!多观察,多思考,多提问,就可以保护好自己!
