M any years ago , a brave monk called Xuanzang decided to travel to the west . On the way , he met a monkey called Sun Wu Kong . Sun Wu Kong was in a bird cage with icebergs . The monkey shouted , ‘ Oh please help me . I am freezing here !’ Kind Xuanzang thought Sun Wu Kong was really poor and asked , ‘ Why are you there ? How can I help you , little monkey ?’ Sun Wu Kong cried , ‘ The Emperor wanted to kill me . He burnt me with fire but it didn ’ t work . So he put me in this iceberg cage . I am going to become an ice monkey and die in a few days . Please help me ! Take the key under this cage ! Unlock the door ! Fast ! ’ Xuanzang found the key and rescued the cold monkey immediately . Sun Wu Kong ordered , ‘ 1 heater ! 10 McDonald ’ s hamburgers ! 15 chicken legs ! Most importantly , 20 bananas ! Now ! ’ Xuanzang was a bit annoyed but still obeyed the bossy monkey . He said quietly , ‘ Um … Aren ’ t you supposed to thank me first ?’ Sun Wu Kong answered with confidence , ‘ Of course NOT ! You are the one who is supposed to say thank you . You are so lucky to meet me , the king of the world-Monkey King ! I can do 72 tricks and help you do anything that is impossible !’ Xuanzang was really surprised , ‘ Are you kidding me ? Wow !’ Sun Wu Kong asked , ‘ So , I see that you are travelling . Where do you want to go ?’ Xuanzang was puzzled , ‘ The west . Actually , if you are so powerful , why don ’ t you know where I go ? Are you kidding …’ Sun Wu Kong interrupted rudely . ‘ Don ’ t ask ! I , the King am going to protect you to go to the west ! I promise that you , young monk won ’ t get hurt . Let ’ s start our journey to the west !’ Then they set off their trip .
10 days after they set off for their journey , they decided to take a rest . ‘ I am a bit tired . Let ’ s rest for a while .’ Xuanzang told Sun Wu Kong . They lied down on a big rock . Just then , they heard a shout , ‘ Found them !’ Without hesitation , the Monkey King jumped up . 4 thieves ran to them and chanted , ‘ Steal their money , steal their fortune , we are little wealthy thieves ! Steal their food , steal their things , we are little healthy thieves !’ They leaped at Xuanzang and started grabbing their bags . Xuanzang was frightened and took a sword out . Sun Wu Kong sighed and took out a phone , ‘ You don ’ t need to use a sword . It is so outdated . Just use a mobile phone .’ He opened an app on his phone . A strong light shot from the phone to those thieves and turned them into leaves . Xuanzang was relieved and asked in an open-mouth , ‘ What is that ? A phone ? An app ? You are really powerful !’ Sun Wu Kong said surprisingly , ‘ What ? You don ’ t know about this app ? This is an app that almost every monkey got it ! Ha , the leaves will turn back into people 1 week later . That served them right .’ ‘ Actually , I don ’ t have a phone . Phones had only been on sale for 1 month and only 10 people got one . Also , why do you press on the monitor ? We use the keys to control the phones . What brand is yours ? The 10 phones in the whole world are all Nokia ’ s .’ Sun Wu Kong answered , ‘ Nokia ? It was a brand 100 years ago . You still use it ? We use the brand , Super Monkey now . Of course we press on the monitor . The keys disappeared from our phones 100 years ago . Oh , you are so outdated .’ Xuanzang was shocked , ‘ What century do you come from ?’ ‘ I come from the 22nd century . I forgot to tell you . The emperor took me through the time tunnel . Don ’ t be so surprised . Monkeys always go through the time tunnel because we are bored .’ Sun Wu Kong told Xuanzang . Xuanzang was too shocked to speak . He stammered , ‘ O .. okay , let … let ’ s continue our trip .’
1 month passed and they were now walking on the mountain . They saw a friar and a talking pig . ‘ Hi ! Are you Xuanzang ? We heard that you are going to west . Can we be your disciples ?’ Sun Wu Kong answered proudly , ‘ Yes , we are going to the west . I am Monkey King . You can be MY disciples .’ Just then , a strange light shone and a spaceship appeared . Two men in black suits stepped out , ‘ Good afternoon , my dear human friends . We are Martians . Please follow us to the laboratory . Keep calm and do what you are told . We just want to be friends with humans .’ Sun Wu Kong thought that they were up to something but Xuanzang thought they just wanted to be friends . ‘ Let ’ s go ,’ ordered Xuanzang . They followed them and went into the laboratory . The doors of the laboratory closed and the two men laughed suddenly , ‘ Haha ! Xuanzang , we are going to steal your luck ! According to our machine , we detected that Xuanzang is the luckiest in the world . Your luck power is really strong . We decided to trap you and steal your luck with our machines . Haha !’ Xuanzang was really scared but Sun Wu Kong remained calm . The Monkey King took out his phone and it shot out the same strong light as before . The Martians chuckled , ‘ You think this little toy can kill us ? Don ’ t even think about it !’ Sun Wu Kong became angry and wanted to open another app . Clever Xuanzang thought of a plan : he could draw the Martians ’ attention to other things ! He shouted , ‘ A dog !’ The Martians cried , ‘ Where ? We hate dogs !’ Xuanzang shouted , ‘ Run !’ and the four friends ran out of the spaceship . Although they didn ’ t kill the Martians , they sighed in relief .
After several months of travelling , they finally arrived at the west . Xuanzang was overjoyed that his dream came true .
