New Journeys to the West
Dulwich College Beijing, Hua, Jessica - 8
O
nce upon a time, there was a monkey who was born in a sea rock. When he was 18 years old, he
wanted to travel from Egypt to Canada because his friend was sick. His family told him there was
a special medicine in Canada. He wanted his friend to get better and he had always wanted to go
on a journey.
However, the monkey had a problem which was nobody could go with him. If he were in danger, maybe
he would die since in lots of places there were monsters everywhere. If he had someone to help him, maybe
he would not die from the scary monsters and he would have a safe journey to the west.
The monkey wanted to cure his friend even if he was going to meet very scary sea monsters on the journey!
Because he was born in the sea he thought the sea monster would not eat him. Sometimes people thought
he was silly since nobody came back alive. They were all be eaten by monsters. The medicine was called the
potion of Giza and all the sick people wanted to drink the potion. Now he had two monkeys to help him,
one was called Jason and the other was called Tiger.
It was the first time that he traveled far, and he was a bit nervous, but he still kept going no matter how
dangerous it was going to be. When he was on the way to Canada, he met some snakes, the queen of Egypt
and the pyramid.
Now he was in Canada and he saw a polar bear with her family, a North America reindeer, a walrus on the
coast and the famous Canadian Capilano Suspension bridge.
The walrus nearly ate them because they were disturbing the walrus. His family members told them the
medicine was on the Canada Capilano Suspension bridge but no one could find it. He wanted to just try but
even he could not find it. Now he was on the bridge, and he felt a little bit scared. He was very brave, so he
got to the other end and he saw lots and many treasure boxes! At the end of the road, he saw a very, very
big treasure box, but he did not have the key, so he used an axe to chop down a tree and chop the key
shape. And he did it, inside there was a bowl of medicine. When he came back, his friend drank the
medicine and he got better. He and his friend lived happily ever after.
