New Journey to the West
Kingston International School, Fung, Derek - 5
O
nce upon a time, there was a Christmas tree. When the sun was rising, it cracked open. Sun Wu
Kong the monkey came out of the Christmas tree. He met the other monkeys. Sun Wu Kong
made a huge treehouse for the monkeys. The other monkeys said, ‘’ You are the monkey king,
Sun Wu Kong!’’
A reindeer called Gund came to visit Sun Wu Kong. He gave Sun Wu Kong a golden crown, a rainbow-
coloured stick and magic powers. But Sun Wu Kong became very rude. Gund said, “Give me back the
golden crown, the rainbow-coloured stick and the magic!” Sun Wu Kong said, “I will not give them
back!” And he flew away!
Sun Wu Kong flew home but there were no trees, no monkeys and no treehouse. He was miserable.
He flew back to Gund. “The trees, the monkeys and the treehouse disappeared. Can you help me to get
them back?” cried Sun Wu Kong. Gund said, “Yes, but you have to be nice. Go to the West to find the
magic book. When you read the right page, you will find the monkeys, the trees and the treehouse."
Blue Bear, White Bear and Brown Bear went to help Sun Wu Kong find the way. A dragon reminded the
Monkey King, “If you are nice, the world will be right.”
Sun Wu Kong, Blue Bear, White Bear and Brown Bear walked to the forest. They saw a huge puff of
smoke. Blue Bear said, “That should be the monster that cut down the woods!” They saw sharp claws,
horns and a red eye.
Blue Bear made his muscles bigger and stronger. The monster was so scared. “Follow me to the West!”
shouted Blue Bear. His friends and the crying monster followed him.
They walked for 20 miles to a beach. They saw lots of rubbish in the sea and on the beach. A turtle was
stuck in the rubbish. The crying monster used its claws to lift the rubbish. The turtle went to swim.
Then they saw two vertical eyes and a soft hand. It was another monster throwing rubbish around. “Sorry, I
was just doing something bad” said the sea monster. “Follow me to the West!’’ shouted Blue Bear.
They walked and walked to the Arctic. They saw another monster. It was a dark monster. It melted the ice.
Sun Wu Kong hit the monster’s head with the rainbow-coloured stick, “If you don’t want me to hit you
then you must be good.’’ The monster said, “Okay.” Then Blue Bear shouted, “Follow me to the West!’’
again.
They ran to the West because maybe somebody would steal the magic book. They arrived and Sun Wu
Kong got the book. He read the book. His monkey friends, the trees and the treehouse came back! The
rubbish vanished and the ice was not melting anymore. The monsters became very nice. The world was
right and they lived happily after.
