as patiently as a mother to her child for he wanted a companion , a friend . The monkey used the advantage that the chubby man was of high value ( and was quite clueless , in his opinion ) and asked the lonely man if he could borrow money to buy a plane ticket to South China . The man hastily agreed on one condition , he had to come with Wukong . Wukong agreed with the intent of asking the man for more money along the journey . The two took off from America to go to South China .
After hours of lounging and discovering new items to be fascinated with , Wukong could figure out to use a telephone , WiFi and learnt all the singers and their songs that Adam liked . They finally reached China ! When he got off the airplane , he put his two furry feet on the ground , he instantly felt a memory , a pulsation . His eyes turned from green to gold . He led Adam to the map stuck on the wall and pointed to a rural island in South China . “ This is where I have to go ,” he said .
They finally found themselves in the McDonald ’ s at the airport , exhausted and desperate . They could not have come all the way here to find nothing ! Yet , they could not find a person that could take them there . Adam had no sense of direction and the monkey wanted to give up and was thinking of shortcuts , despite Buddha ’ s warning . Fortunately for him , Adam sensed this and gave him support . He assured Wukong that he could and would find someone who would be willing to go and show him the way to the cavern . The moment he said that an enormous man came and slammed his hand on the McDonald ’ s table . “ I know the way and I can show you , for the right price .” the man said . Adam refused but the monkey said , “ How much do you want ?” However , Wukong was downright desperate and , after all , the money was not his . After what seemed like a glaring contest , Adam gave in . They paid the man , Suki , and began their journey .
It took them 3 days before they finally made it . Instead of feeling joy for finding the deserted island , they felt exhausted . However , Adam gritted his teeth and all three of them began to climb and trek the hill to the cavern . As they were climbing , all three men were thinking of different things … Suki was thinking of his riches and Adam of food . As for Wukong , he was thinking of what Buddha said to him . What did he do that he deserved such a cruel punishment ? A sudden misery overtook him and he felt a strong wave of homesickness . A tear slid off his nose as he climbed tirelessly up the hill to the place that was his prison . Finally , he reached his destination . The cavern . The sun had started to set and the cavern looked terrifyingly beautiful .
The moment Wukong looked at it , he recoiled like the cavern was toxic . He , as well as his friends , didn ’ t know why he reacted this way . As his friends began to make a tent outside of the cavern , Wukong had conflicting emotions . Should he give up and run away ? Should he follow Buddha ’ s will ? He finally decided that he would follow Buddha and be his faithful servant . He didn ’ t know what his past mistakes were , but he wanted to learn from them . As the clock or as Adam ’ s watch stroke 12 , Wukong entered the cavern , his heart and mind set and prayed and repented .
He did so for 7 days . His friends waited for seven days until one day , Adam and Suki woke up to thunder . As their eyes adjusted to the light , they saw Wukong crouching and praying , glowing from the inside . Wukong said , “ I am very thankful to you all . In a few years ’ time , I will be set free . Buddha told me so . I was sent to the 21st century as I was not repenting , even after years of punishment . Now I know . When I am set free , I will find a way to return to this time , this new world . Do not forget me , my friends ”. Adam and Suki sobbed and said their goodbyes knowing that they were not saying goodbye for the last time . They knew in their hearts that the clever monkey would find a loophole , find a way to come back to them because he was cunning . That was the one thing that didn ’ t change .
