I t was five o ’ clock . I was doing my homework . Suddenly , there was a big hole under my chair and I spiralled down . Several minutes later , I woke up and found myself covered with furs , lying in an unknown place . I had become a monkey !
Before I could figure out what had happened , a merchant came and asked ,” Hey , Monkey King ! How are you today ?” I looked at him confusedly and replied , “ Hello . I ’ m not good . Who are you and where am I ?” The merchant widened his eyes as if he had just seen the most unbelievable thing in the world , and answered in a surprising voice , “ What ? Are you kidding me ? I am the millionaire , Ray ! Hey , buddy ! Tell me you remember that we agreed to help a talking cow , Olivia , to find her baby cow in Japan and USA and today we should set off . Let ’ s join the other two companies .”
I felt like having a dream . A few minutes ago , I was an ordinary student doing my homework . But then , homework seemed to be the least of my concern . I could not believe what had just occurred to me , but my curiosity overwhelmed my fear and uncertainty . I decided to follow him . After all , I needed to find out what had happened to me and how I could get my human body back . Of course , I wanted to go back and continued with ( well , might be not anymore ), my homework .
It took us some time to arrive at the Dragon Market . The other two companies were waiting for us . One of them was the talking cow , Olivia . She said softly : “ After getting my baby back , I will give all of you one thing you want in return ,” said Olivia . “ Sure . We will spare no efforts to help you ,” replied the three of us . Soon , Ray took out his treasure chest and pulled out a luxurious airliner . The four of us got on the airliner and flew to Japan , our first stop to look for the little cow . Three minutes later , we landed on an open ground . Ray took out his treasure chest again and put the airliner back . At that time we were all feeling hungry . So the team decided to find a place to eat .
I suggested a restaurant named Banana Fairyland , dreaming that there would be lots of bananas . I couldn ’ t wait to enter the restaurant but there weren ’ t any bananas ; instead , there was sushi on the plates in the shape of a banana boat . I was disappointed and wanted to leave ; however , my friends had already started eating the sushi .
Noticing I was not happy , the millionaire said , “ Hey , Monkey King . Come and join us . It ’ s yummy . ” “ No . I only eat bananas . I don ’ t want to try sushi . It ’ s raw .” Hearing what I said , John took out a big banana , cut it and mixed it with sushi . And he dragged me on to the table . “ Wow . It tastes great . Give me more sushi with bananas .” People were all curious and wanted to have a try . Soon , this sushi became a hit and everyone was grateful to us . Hence , we took out a photo of the baby cow and asked if they had seen it before . Everyone shook his head and said no . It seemed we did not have a clue about the baby . So we decided to move on to our next destination - USA .
