here is a treasure island with valuable treasure in the West. The treasure is not money, gold, or
jewelry. It is a long life secret.
Xuanzang, Monkey King, a friar and a talking pig set off to the West in order to get the long life secret.
They pass through a forest. Suddenly, there are a lot of snakes. They creep along the floor quickly and want
to attack the four people. They run for their life. Xuanzang uses his cleverness and asks the teammates to
take some bamboo nearby. They throw the bamboos to the snakes. The snakes are afraid and stop attacking.
The talking pig feels tired and wants to sleep. The teammates encourage him and ask him to hurry up.
Monkey King helps to find food from the forest and the friar finds some water.
Few days later, they come to a mountain. They are very afraid. Xuanzang keeps clam and tells them to walk
slower in order to save energy. The talking pig keeps complaining. He rejects to walk. Fortunately, the
teammates persuade him to continue again. On the ways, Monkey King plays magic and makes a lot of jokes
for the teammates. The friar has good voice and sings a lot for the team. They both make the journey funny.
After the mountain, they pass through a desert. There is sandstorm one day. Xuanzang asks them to hide
behind a big rock. They do not have water, Xuanxhang asks them to find the places where they could see
animals or plants. Fortunately they finally find an oasis and get water there. Monkey King is naughty and
runs out alone to play in one night. He loses his way. Finally Xuanzang asks the friar to find him out.
Money King is scolded seriously by Xuanzang.
Before arriving the treasure island, they need to cross a river. The river is very deep and have crocodiles.
When the four people arrive the river, they play in the river. Suddenly, there is a crocodile open its mouth
and bite Xuanzang’s clothes. The four people are frightened. Monkey King uses his magic rod to fight
against the crocodile and finally wins. They take rest along the river and then continue their journey to the
West.
After a lot of difficulties, they come to the treasure island at the West finally. They got the secret to long life.
