Lost!

onkey King silently raced through the dark and scary woods. He was having a walk. He was
thinking how good his master treated him…
But wait...where was his master?
Thinking that his master was lost in the forest, monkey king went to his master’s house to get weapons and
go back.
He might be captured by an evil demon or something, thought Monkey king. He went to his master’s room
to get a backpack to put all the weapons. And...
His master was asleep on his bed! Monkey king was relieved that his master was safe. He knew that the pig
and the friar were camping in his master's house, so he tiptoed into the room that should have the pig...but
to his surprise, he saw nobody. The same with the friar. When he entered the friar’s room, he also saw
nobody.
He couldn’t see anyone he knew. He tried to find them by picking up a scent he knew, but couldn't...Then
he picked up a scent he didn't know and, being curious, followed the smell. He followed until he saw there
was a door guarding the scent. He silently stood for a long time. The rug beneath him held its breath. The
walls watching without blinking.
Monkey king finally tried to peek under the door, nothing.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not see what was behind the door. Then he heard a whistling sound
behind it. He stared blankly at the door, he slowly walked backward.
Then bumped into something furry. Monkey king turned around, nobody. Then a cloud of dust blocked his
eyes, he couldn’t see a thing! When the dust cleared, he found himself in a small and strange
place...suddenly, without warning, it sprang up and grabbed monkey king with his big, hairy claws.
The demon king.
He felt pale with fright. He felt as if he was a frozen iceberg in Antarctica. Then he ran around and around
with the demon king behind him.
When he had already ran five laps, he noticed the walls started to disappear.
Cold air ran into the room. Then he saw his friends and his master sliding...they were frozen!
He slid them quickly near a fire and pushed a table to hide them. They started to thaw, monkey king felt a
fish bone breath hover above them.
Monkey king held his friends and his master tight and together they survived a huge swallow.
When monkey king was inside the demon king. He cuddled with his friends and his master whispered “All
we have to do is think of a plan to get out, and find the scrolls.
They thought and thought. But nothing came to their minds...Suddenly, a mosquito flew near the demon
king’s nose, he sneezed and it slipped into his mouth.
The scrolls!
They read the scrolls and then they all broke into smiles. This is the happiest day of my life
though monkey king.
