Once there was a man who liked to eat mangoes(芒果). One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed(暴露) to the sun the most are the sweetest. So he climbed up to the top, where the branches(树枝) were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and was still helplessly hanging(挂) on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.
