I’m sorry that I’ve disappointed you. I haven’t even written much in you, and now I’m already making such
a big change in life. I really hope you can forgive me for writing more spells and math equations in you than
talking about my life.
I’m going to train up my magic tricks for a while so i be a worthy disciple of Xuanzang. Don’t worry, Pig
and Friar will be with me.
Thanks for everything.

Wednesday
We’re leaving now. Hope this journey will be worth our exhaustion; perhaps this journey will teach us
more important things in life than my school does.
If you’re wondering when I’ll be back, I’m afraid I can’t answer you. Yet. The trip might take weeks,
months, years, perhaps even a decade or two.
If you’re also wondering what’ll happen to me, Pig and Friar, or what we’ll do, then..
All we can do is hope somebody will write about our long Journey to the West.
I’m out of pages to write on. Once again, thanks for everything. Take care.
Your Dearest Friend,
Monkey
