New Journeys To The West
Bradbury School, Cheung, Charlize - 8
The Monkey King’s fur is brown,
he has a golden crown.
He likes to play and fight all day,
and chase the fierce demons away.
The monk’s hat is red,
he has a horse called Ted.
He longed to find the spiritual fulfillment,
without thinking of the dangerous excitement.
The talking pig’s coat is blue,
his words are not always true.
He loves to sleep and eat in secret,
then ask for more food so he can eat it.
The friar’s gold band is bright,
his strikes are not always right.
He likes to help the good fight evils,
but sometimes gets caught by devils.
The journey was a thrilling adventure,
till they found the precious spiritual treasure.
They enjoyed the journey very much,
and they will always keep in touch.
