A
lmost 1400 years ago, there were four main characters, including the young monk, whose name is
Xuanzang, Monkey King, a friar and a talking pig. Their mission was to go to a piece of mystery
India, called Nalanda, his trip was to celebrate in a novel called "Journey to the West", written
about 500 years ago. They had battles with strange monsters and suffered a variety of hardship, like
conflicts.
The four characters then quickly came together and had a long walk from China to India, between
themselves and their beliefs. As there were no airplanes, on the first two weeks, there were very excited for
the trip to there, but at last something weird had happened. There was a monster trying to follow them as
Monkey King sensed it. And one bright and burning morning, there was a beautiful lady who dressed up in
gold and with jewelries. Monkey King used his magic power and realized who is a fake person pretended
by the monsters. And he quickly informed Xuanzang. But Xuanzang thought that Monkey King was
telling lies, as he always made fun of him. When Xuanzang wanted to invite the lady to join him, Monkey
King suddenly stopped him and said "Please don't invite the lady, she is a Monster!" And the lady heard this
and popped to somewhere else. This made Xuanzang mad at Monkey King, "See what you have done! She
is gone now! Stay away from me! I don't want to see you anymore!" The Monkey King was freaked out, as
he hasn't seen him as angry as someone he never knew. Sadly, Monkey king went away and walked back
home lonely.
After the Monkey had left, Xuanzang saw a poor old lady standing in front of him, so he told her
that he would like to take her to India with him. And the old lady told her that she would love to go with
them. After some days, the Monkey King had remembered that Xuanzang always treated him good and
wanted to stay with him. So, Monkey King quickly rode on his flying cloud and flew to find Xuanzang.
He then saw a old lady walking next to him, and Monkey King was so angry that he had already used his
power to show Xuqnzang that the old lady was also a fake person. At last, Xuanzang had realized and
noticed that Monkey King did not betray and lie to him, so they were friends again.
