Finally Monkey squeezed out of the crowd and retreated to where the other two were standing . They glanced at each other , carrying a gloomy expression on their face . A silent agreement seemed to have been made ; they nodded and disappeared quietly into thin air .
Back on the clouds where Xuanzang was , the three disciples returned . Xuanzang asked in a curious tone , ’ why are you back ? You just left not long ago .’ Friar Sand sighed . ‘ We were originally on a mission to bring democracy from the West to the East , but now we have come to tell you that their democracy made the countries worse than before !’ Pig nodded in agreement . Everyone went silent for a while until Monkey broke the tension . ‘ Democracy should be about respecting each other ’ s ideas and compromising , and the aim of it is to make citizens ’ lives better . But the people have done nothing but worsen the situation through their so-called ‘ democracy ’. They kept shouting about their own opinions but did not compromise . ‘’ Respect is a common sense .’’ What I see from this mission is that they should think deeply about themselves and reflect on what is the true meaning of democracy .’
