Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing stayed in Agrabah, Xuanzang and Wukong and Yulong moved along. They trotted along the great desert and Xuanzang continued to fail to spread Buddhism. They then heard a carpet fly pass them, it was Aladdin and Jasmine. “We wanted to see the world, so we decided to come along.” Said Aladdin, he then lead the way to a port city. There they could get a ship. The ship was bound for the city of Marseille in the West they then boarded the ship. “Oh I hate the sea.” Complained Sun Wukong. The journey on sea was long but it was interesting to see people with white skin. They talked in a different language, only some can understand the common tongue. The next day, they arrived at Marseille. It was a city of sweetness; the smell of pastry filled the air. They then took a carriage to Paris where they would continue to have fun, they rented and room at an inn. Aladdin and Jasmine went off, leaving only Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong. On the street, a mysterious figure stalked them. Everyone looked at Tan Sanzang strangely; they have never seen an alien like this before. The mysterious figure then approached Xuanzang, “Athos, at your service monsieur.” Said the mysterious man. “No thanks.” Retorted Xuanzang. Paris was bustling with people even in the Night. Sun Wukong cooked noodles Tang Sanzang went to pray. There was a knock on the door, Wukong went to get it and out came Three Musketeers. Athos, Porthos, and Aramis said that they were musketeers of the kings guard and they’d like to have dinner with the two. They sat down and took forks to eat noodles. “You eat noodles with chopsticks.” Said Tang Sanzang. They then spilled wine and spat on the floor and did a lot of things, which drove Tang mad. “You do not come here to eat like fools! Kong Zi taught us many manners.” Shouted Tang Sanzang. The three musketeers then started singing. Snap the sticks Spit on the floor Eat the noodles with a fork Spill the wine on every floor That’s what Tang Sanzang hates Smash the cups Slash the mat Swearing to everyone at the door Drink the wine like a dork That’s what Tang Sanzang hates What are you doing?
