Journey to the East
Yew Chung International School Chongqing, Sho, Mayuko - 9
O
nce in Ancient China, there was a special monk called Monk Tang. If you eat his meat, you can
live forever. He thought of going to Egypt to get valuable treasure. But he knew that it was way
to dangerous for him. So he found some of his best friends to go with him. They are Monkey
King, a pig, and Monk Sha. They are all best friends of Monk Tang. So they started their adventurous
journey to Egypt…
They reach Iran for a brief break. They saw a savage tiger which is actually a monster. The monster was
trying to eat Monk Tang so that it can live forever on the planet. The Monkey King could tell whether it
was a monster because he had special eyes. The Monkey King informed Monk Tang immediately ad they
went away using the somersaulting cloud. Monk Tang screamed, “Help! Help!” as they got out of Iran.
They finally reached Egypt. Monk Sha said, “We almost got eaten by a savage tiger!” The Monkey King
replied, “No, that was a monster.” They all gasped. When the Monkey King said that the pig said, “Let’s
continue finding the treasure.” But suddenly a group of scary mummies came dashing towards them as fast as
lightning.
Monk Tang exclaimed. “Be careful!” The Monkey King tried to kill the mummies using his golden stick
and the pig tried to kill them using his rake. But Monk Tang and Monk Sha just took wooden sticks from
the ground to hit the mummies. Finally, they killed the mummies.
They saw a colossal pyramid and there was a sign, it said: Pyramid of the treasure. They dashed into the
pyramid as fast as they could. But on the treasure chest, there was a keyhole. So they searched the whole
pyramid for the key. Monk Tang shouted, “I found the key!” They all ran towards Monk Tang. They
opened the treasure together and there were lots of gold coins. They shared the gold coins equally among
each person and went back to China happily.
