New Journey to the West
Korean International School, Woo, Justin - 10
T
here were three people in Beijing, China. They were Sun Wu Kong, Piggy and Master Tong. Sun
WuKong was a disciple of the master; he looked like a monkey. He obeyed his master. He carried a
long copper stick for fighting. Piggy was also a disciple of the master. He looked like a fat pig with
big ears. He obeyed his master but felt jealous about Sun WuKong. He was a nice person, but he was lazy
and under-confident. He carried an axe to protect his master. Master Tong was the master. He liked
reading.
One day, Master Tong told his disciples that he wanted to travel to the west of China to explore
and have new adventures. They spent one day packing their luggage, then left home on Monday morning,
and went through the Great Wall of China. Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm. They fell from the wall to
a cliff. Piggy was so heavy that he could not climb back up. Master Tong used his magic to turn Piggy to be
small and light, so that Piggy could climb up the cliff. The rain stopped and the rainbow came out. The sky
turned dark at night. They set up a tent to sleep. Piggy snored loudly while sleeping, so he slept outside by
himself.
On Tuesday morning, they woke up and started their journey. They sat on a cloud to fly to
South West. They reached the Himalayan Mountains. The weather was freezing. They reached the peak of
Mount Everest, which was the top of the world. Since there was not enough air and oxygen to breathe, so
Piggy and Sun Wu Kong felt uncomfortable. They quickly flew downhill to India. They saw a very
beautiful temple. They went inside the temple to rest and eat some food. Some people came over to say hi
to the three visitors. The Indians gave them curry rice to eat. They loved the curry and brought some curry
powder with them. After their big meal, they travelled north to Kazakhstan. They saw nothing but horses to
the north. They reached Russia at night.
On Wednesday morning, they travelled to Moscow and looked around. They saw the Red Square
and the Kremlin Palace. The Russians gave them caviar to eat. Piggy ate a lot and felt sleepy. Then they
travelled to St. Petersburg. They saw a large and charming palace with a huge garden.
On Thursday, they flew to Scotland. They saw many castles and lakes. They rested at a lake. Sun
Wukong took a boat to catch fish. Suddenly, a giant sea monster emerged and opened its big mouth. Piggy
and Master Tong went back to the land. Sun Wukong used his copper stick to fight the monster. He broke
the monster’s teeth. The monster is in pain and swam away. Piggy a lot of salmon with them.
On Friday, they flew to Egypt. They saw the pyramids. In one of the pyramids, they saw a sign
written as “There is gold inside, find it or die!” They went inside to search for gold. It was a maze inside
and it was very dark. They heard noise from ghosts. Mummies turned into lives. Sun Wukong used his stick
to beat the mummies. Master Tong used super power to shrink himself and Piggy to tiny size. Since there
were more mummies coming, Sun WuKong was too tired to fight. Sun WuKong used super power to
become invisible. The mummies left. Then, Sun WuKong turned the master and Piggy back to normal size.
Sun Wu Kong saw a big rock blocking an exit in front of them. Beside the rock there was a pot full of soil
with water dripping from the ceiling. Then Master Tong looked up. A pipe stuck out from the ceiling. It
was dripping water into the pot. “This pipe must be connected to the exit,” said Master Tong. Piggy smiled,
“Plants need water to grow, but they need sunlight too.” Master Tong turned to Sun Wu Kong, “Please
shine some light and pour more water to the pot,” he said. Sun WuKong made some fire to pour light to
the pot. He also made a bucket of water to pour light to the pot. He also made a bucket of water to pour to
the pot. The soil began to stir. A small green shoot sprang up. “It’s working!” Piggy cheered. The green
shoot grew into a thick vine. The vine grew out of the pot. More vines grew across the floor towards the
big round rock. As they grew, they pushed the rock and opened the doorway. They went inside the room.
There were many gold and treasures inside. However, there was also a knight carrying shield and sword. He
said, “If you want the gold, you have to overcome me first.” Sun WuKong fought against the knight, but
the knight was strong and powerful. Sun WuKong turned himself invisible, and kept hitting the knight from
his back. The knight surrendered. They took some of the gold bricks, silver plates, diamonds, jewels,
treasures, coins and bronze necklaces.
