New Journey to the West
Discovery Mind Primary School , Dey , Priyanshu - 10

I t was a nice winter morning in China 100,000 years ago , when a monk named Xuan Zang was making tea . Unlike other monks , Xuan Zang did not know his spirituality . He was bald and very slim so he saved space in his house by making the doors quite thin . When he became too impatient and desperately needed to know his spirituallity , he called some of his friends , the bossy Friar , the super active Monkey king and the big fat Talking Pig .

As they were packing the Monkey king , being curious , asked Xuan Zang “ what are we going to ride on to get there ?” “ Oh , I have arranged some horses for us to ride on . 4 for us and 1 with a Chariot to carry the luggage .” They had rice balls for lunch then headed out to the Himalayas Mountain , which is always very cold .“ I am so tired !” moaned the Talking Pig . “ You are basically the king of fatness .” commented The Friar . “ Boys ! Stop arguing ! This is meant to be a good adventure .” snapped Xuan Zang . The Friar had a big beard with white pearls at the end and a red-ish coloured circle on his forehead .
They were not even halfway through when a growling voice was heard by Monkey king “ Ahhhhh ! Yetis is here ! Yelled Monkey king with astonishment . Everybody was alert and attacked immediately . The Monkey king had an extendable bo staff . He extended it , but just when he was about to wield it , Yetis dodged and Monkey king missed . Later The Friar swung his two-pointed devil fork and SMACKED Yetis in the stomach . It was all over .
“ Oh buddy ! This is super cooooolllllllllllldddddd !” moaned The Talking Pig . “ Yeah , sssssuuuuuppppppeeeeerrrrr !” agreed Xuan Zang . Suddenly , there was a Landslide ! Everybody slipped but The Friar used his fork to grab onto the icy edge of the cliff . The Pig and Monkey king used their weapons ( a rake and bo staff ) and pierced them in the ice , Xuan Zang had held onto Friars leg , But their horses did not survive . “ uh oh !” said The Friar . “ What ?” asked Talking Pig “ We are falling !!!!!!” replied The Friar . They all slipped down the mountain . Xuan Zang shouted out to land in the river and everyone was safe .
When they reached India ( their destination ) they visited the Indian gate in Delhi . They then met Hanuman a popular Indian god of all time “ your spirituality is that you think about everyone in the world and will become the bravest man in China . Xuan Zang was very joyful and together they lived happily ever after .
