“You’re just girlfriend and I’m his wife. I have power over you!”
“So what? I’m younger and more beautiful. Don’t be surprised that you get replaced!”
“Never!”
“Don’t be so sure……”
The bull immediately looked horrified. His eyes were now the size of basketballs. “Hush, hush,
hush…… I, er, love both of you very much, um, so no need to fight, and……” He seemed to be at loss for
words. “I give up!” And ran away.
The women screamed after him.
“You’re mine !”
“Fat chance!”
We all laughed.
We continued our journey in Thailand. We were walking through a fruit market when screams
interrupted the fairly lovely day. “It’s a talking, gigantic……” The people shouted down the street.
“ ELEPHANT! ”
Thundering footsteps echoed around the now silent plaza. The elephant-faced giant was hideous.
The Monkey King, recognizing it as one of the cannibal demons who wanted to eat Tang Sanzang’s flesh to
become immortal, charged, his face purple with rage. The two fought as fast as lightning, so what they were
doing was a blur. Suddenly, the duo bumped into a box of bananas. Unexpectedly, they stopped fighting
and sat down to eat the yellow fruit.
Seeing the scene, I set to work drawing bananas. Bunches of bananas. Spotted bananas. Pure yellow
bananas. Milky-white bananas. Super fat bananas. The two ate them all. I decided to draw an extra big fruit.
Once they saw it, they fought for five minutes until the banana split open. The two munched happily with
their mouths full of a disgusting banana paste. Finally, both were too full to move, and Zhu Bajie and Sha
Wujing killed the Yellow Toothed Elephant.
After passing through the three countries from Hong Kong to India, we finally arrived at our
destination, Vulture Peak. It was the edge of the Heavenly World of Buddhas. The Buddha presented the
sutras to the travellers. The moment I touched the book, I woke to find myself dozing on my desk. The
picture wasn’t blank anymore but it wasn’t the same as the original either. It was the scene of the glorious
moment of joy as the disciples finally achieved their goal and accomplished their mission.
