New Journey to the West
Marymount Primary School , Lam , Wing Tung - 11
About 1400 years ago , a young monk named XuanZang really wanted to get the book Legend Book of Buddha . A monkey , a pig and another monk volunteered to help XuanZang . He was extremely excited when he heard the news .
The monkey , whose name was Xuan WuKong , lives in a world full of any other clever monkeys like him and he was the king of all . Because of this , WuKong became very arrogant and thought he was the best in the whole world . Although he was arrogant and impulse , he knew all sorts of Kung Fu , so he volunteered to protect XuanZang throughout his whole journey .
The pig did not volunteer to help XuanZang . His name was Zhu BaJie , actually he was not a pig . In fact , he was a god from the Temple of Heaven , but he was so lazy that his father decided to let him work hard as same people so that he could understand not to take things for granted by disguising him into a pig and told him to follow XuanZang and help him .
The monk was one of XuanZang ’ s apprentices . Its name is Sha Monk . He was originally an army general in the Temple of Heaven , but he was kicked out because he broke a valuable vase . Fortunately , he was advised by the buddha to join XuanZang ’ s team and assist him , so that the buddha could help him to get back to the Temple of Heaven .
XuanZang was very satisfied with this team he had gathered , and he gave them a detail briefing and they all said the same thing , “ No problem !”
Then they set off for the journey to the west . XuanZang opened his magic book to P . 1 , on the book it said , “ Unless you face 3 big challenges , or else you can ’ t get the Legend Book of Buddha .” After reading this message , XuanZang became quite frustrated , anxious and worried . He thought , “ Sha and WuKong can face difficulties , but what about the BaJie ? He is lazy …” At this time , Bajie came up to XuanZang and said , “ I ’ m not afraid . You don ’ t have to be worried !” XuanZang sighed with relief .
They trotted until they have arrived at a broken bridge . A troll came out from under a tree and said , “ Watch out ! The bridge was broken by a group of furious ox yesterday . I ’ m so helpless . Would you all help me to fix it ?” XuanZang nodded his head . WuKong and Sha gathered a lot of branches and wood from the forest . BajIe used his hammer to fix the broken pieces . XuanZang casted a spell on the bridge and all the cracks disappeared . The troll said with contentment , “ Well done ! Here is your reward .” He handed XuanZang with one shiny , gold coin . XuanZang was confused . He flipped his magic book to the ‘ remarks ’ page . He found out that the gold coins were used to exchange for the Legend Book of Buddha . After they had rested for a while , they all continued on their journey .
The next stop is a high wall . A general guarded it . He said proudly , “ No one could ever jump through this wall . Would you all want to try ?” XuanZang kept sweating . He was nervous as his body was not feeling so well . WuKong said , “ If I can jump over the wall , can you let us all pass ?” The general thought no one could jump over , so he promised . Then WuKong said , “ I will be the first one to climb over it !” It was easy for WuKong . He took a deep breath and jumped . He leapt over the high wall . The general opened wide his mouth and murmured in a trembling voice , “ No ! No one could ever jump over my wall !” He handed out the gold coin to XuanZang , and gave a way to them . “ Yeah ! We have achieved the second mission !” 4 of them said fulfillingly .
The final mission is a construction site . BaJie said , “ Con ... construction site ?? I … I don ’ t understand … And where is the person in charge of this mission ?” XuanZang opened his magic book again to P . 3 . It said , “ For the 3rd mission , there is no person in charge , no instructions , and no tools . You have to build it all by yourself .” BaJie said , “ Oh no …” At this time , Sha said , “ Ah ! I ’ ve learnt how to build a house before ! Please get me some wood , pins , needles and concrete .” But WuKong and BaJie said , “ But it is too far and too hard to gather all these .” XuanZang took out a little silk bag from his pocket , and said , “ Once I have helped a person , and he gave me this as a return . He said that this bag can provide things you want .” Then XuanZang said out all the things that he needed , and really , the things appeared ! Sha said , “ Great !” Then he and WuKong started building so fast , so fast that they only used an hour and less to finish it . Meanwhile , a
