Journey to the West
Yew Chung International School Chongqing, Duro, Alberto - 10
O
ne day, a long time ago (1,349,365 years,3 months,2 weeks,1 day,3 hours,2 minutes and 5 seconds
ago to be exact), was a monkey called Suem that lived in Chongqing, China and he was a very
adventurous monkey. At about midday, he decided to climb a mountain that was near a lake.
Once he reached the top, he looked down and his legs wobbled and shook till he fell off the mountain!
Terrified and scared, shocked and surprised, he fell from the lofty mountain. When he was inside of the lake,
he saw a cave and entered and sat on a big chair like that of an emperor. After a minute or two, a big pole
appeared, as he grabbed the gleaming pole, he felt a surge of energy enter his blood stream…
And there was a god that commanded his master to go to India and buy some things, but in those times,
going to places like India was hard. Therefore, he requested some help. Immediately, the amazing Monkey
king (Suem) appeared behind him and scared the god called Tref. They continued through the mountains
and oceans till they found a cave. As they entered the cave, they heard a whhhooooosshhhhh . They
entered the cave and figured out, it was a trap! A pig (Pigsy) and a sand monk (Bob) saw them. Since the pig
was very fat, he was able to demolish the poles with one single hop. As the poles shattered, they saw a
strange purplish-black figure giggle as it escaped into the mist.
After a long time of walking, they saw a dinosaur that had a very long neck. They prepared to fight the
dinosaur because the dinosaur declared a fight. (Secretly, they were all scared of each other.) As your
prpbably thinking, the all powerful monkey king won, but all his friends were with him, and then, knocked
out. So Tref slammed Suem’s stick onto Suem’s head.
A little later, they got hungry, so Suem went to seek food. He then saw some grapes on the highest
branch of the only tree for miles and miles. But if he tried to do the cloud jump, he would go too high.
So instead, he grabbed the staff and extended it’s height till it was able to knock out the grapes out of the
tree. All of their other members of their now so called ‘Team’ arrived and they had a feast consisting of:
3 chickens, 1 cow, 2 salads, 32 glasses of water, 8 bowls of soup and of course, grapes. They all ate
gracefully until they heard a bloperbloop , and then a buuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrp! They finally arrived in India
and bought what was requested with all the jewels and gems given to them. But then they started to
cry… They had realized they had to return!
