New Journeys to the West

One thousand , two hundred years ago , there was a monk named Xuanzang . He was a caring man , who could be romantic , and indeed strong . He was living in the monastery , with his three faithful friends . He wanted to find his true identity , but he knew he couldn ’ t do it without his friends .
He was thinking of how he could find himself inside , when suddenly the bell rang . When the bell rings , it always meant for a meeting wanted from the king . He quickly collected his mates , and dashed to the meeting room . The king looked very urgent , so they quietly sat down .” Xuan zang . There has been a very bad comment from the king of America , and he has said that he would send his armies over here to take over the building ( which is the monastery ), and that if we did not prepare a scroll : to show evidence to them that this is ruled by me , then they will soon destroy this place . Unfortunately , we don ’ t have the paper to write it down , so I will need you guys to go to india , find the golden chest in a palace , and bring back the scroll for me . Is that understood ?” “ Yes sir !” they said . They went back to their room , and got packing as quick as they could . They setted off to India , after the wave from the king . The first step on the himalayas was fearful . It was nothing like the top of the china mountains , where the monastery stood , it was damp , it was cold , and it was a hard path .
On the first night , the four strong men stopped by at a hill . They lay back , taking a deep breath , and then everyone fell asleep . However , the talking pig was awake . The Friar ’ s devil fork was resting on a dried palm tree , which danced next to the hill .” SWISH , SWISH ” The trees went , then the next moment , there was another sound , it sounded like laughter . Laughter of … two maidens ! As the talking pig was awake , he fell in love with the maidens . Although the talking pig is one of the three faithful friends of Xuanzang , it was always easy to trick him : by using ladies . Beautiful women . They were his favorite . His fat tummy was attracted to see them . The heart eyes followed them , forcing his whole body , who knew that it wasn ’ t right to just go along , without telling the rest . But he couldn ’ t help it . He followed the maidens , and then lost his track- as he expected .
Back at the hills , the monkey king awoke by some sort of nightmare : he noticed that there was something wrong . The talking pig was missing . As usual . He pricked one of his hair , duplicating himself . His duplicated self stayed by the hill , to not make trouble to others . His original self turned into a bird : allowing him to fly everywhere he wanted . His wings was an engine , and he flew as quick as a cheetah , arriving back to land . He saw the talking pig following something , so he grabbed him on the clothes , with his claws . He flew back as quick as he could , and after they met his teammates , the monkey king and the talking pig told the rest what had happen .
When everybody was settled down , they started to walk again . The path got warmer and warmer , however not making them sweat . They were still freezing . While the chatter box , who was the monkey king , kept on chatting , the friar was expecting something wrong to happen . He was right . And the more weird thing is that … it happened to him ! He nearly dropped into a humongous hole that had opened a few moments ago , when Xuanzang zoomed to him : which saved his life ! His brave , courageous , and kind smile appeared to his handsome face .
Sooner or later , they arrived at India . They all shared a giggle , reminding them the hardship they had faced at the mountains . They slowly walked , knowing the fact that they had arrived in India ! They stopped by at a hill again , and then rested . Before they did , Xuanzang touched the hill of leafs for safety , but before they could even squeak , they were falling !!!!!!
Right in front of them , was a humungous , a gorgeous , golden palace ! It was like a hidden place ! When they tried to look up , they couldn ’ t ; it was too shiny to look at . But the hole , which had made them to fall , seem to become smaller , smaller , and then smaller , as if though someone one was trying to trap them underneath . Curiously , they looked at the palace again , and finally , as they couldn ’ t help it , they looked inside . Inside was nothing like the monastery : chandeliers hanged from the ceilings , art work , which seemed to be painted from a famous artist , hanged from the walls , and finally , it looked new . Wherever they went , they could smell the paint , and wherever they looked , there was always a golden furniture . They were more curious now , so they went deeper inside . Every Step they would stop , just to look around .
