New Journeys to the West - Clean Water Adventure
Kingston International School , Kay , Jasmine – 7
Once upon a time , there were four little girls called Monky , Piggy , Princess Monkey and Sara who were the sisters of Tripitaker , Pigsy , Monkey King , and Sandy respectively .
To be goddesses , Monky , Piggy , Princess Monkey and Sara were sent to a monastery by their brothers . The monastery was on Longevity Hill . A long time ago , Pigsy , Monkey King and Sandy stole and ate all the Ginseng fruits without asked .
One day in a very hot summer , Monk Zheng , the teacher of the monastery , taught Monky , Piggy , Princess Monkey and Sara how to plant Ginseng fruits . It was super hard work for them because there were only tiny drops of water in the well . The girls decided to walk down the hill to get water from the closest river called Blue River . They got the buckets and started the long walk to Blue River .
After a nice stroll to the hillside , the girls saw Blue River in front of them . Monky gasped , " Water in Blue River is BLUE !" Piggy said , " Let ' s make a raft so that we can go further to get clean water ." In a minute , they finished building a raft , and rode on the raft along the river .
Suddenly , the girls heard rushing water . They saw a waterfall a few miles ahead . They started paddling backwards . But , water was too strong , the raft kept going . The girls jumped out of the raft and swam to the riverside immediately . The girls were safe and chanted , " Hooray !" What a relief . It was too bad that water was still blue .
By the riverside , right above them was King Kong and his wife , Queen Kong . Princess Monkey cried , " Here ’ s my home , Mountain of Flower and Fruit . They ’ re my grandparents ." Princess Monkey asked her grandparents where to find clean water . Queen Kong said , " In Ant Cave . It is made of crystals . Don ' t touch any crystals in the cave as the gigantic Devil Ant will eat you up ." Queen Kong passed the magic long-hand power to Princess Monkey before the girls started their adventure .
While the girls were walking into Ant Cave , Piggy walked behind the others so no one saw her steal some crystals . Devil Ant came out from the dark and rushed to Piggy . Devil Ant opened his mouth wide to Piggy . Princess Monkey used the magic long-hand power to reach and throw Piggy out of Ant Cave . She then picked some Mekoberries with her long hands and shot Devil Ant . Devil Ant became weak because his weakness was Mekoberries . Then , Devil Ant escaped from the cave once and for all .
While everyone was looking for clean water , Sara was starving and ate a Mekoberry . Sara gasped , “ Clean … Clean water is inside Mekoberries !”
Back to the monastery with tons of Mekoberries , the girls watered the Ginseng fruits with clean water . The Ginseng fruits grew well and fast every day . Monk Zheng was satisfied with their hard work so he allowed them to enjoy the Ginseng fruits . The four girls grinned , “ Yum Yum !”
