With a boom
With a zoom
With a zang
With a bang
With a swoosh
And a wosh
The ground shook
Here comes the Monkey King!
He is smart, brave, selfish,and very naughty
It is hard to make him get along with others
Because he thinks that he’s the best
There are only two people that can beat him
Guanyin and the Buddha
One day, Buddha and the Monkey King made a bet
They wanted to know who was most powerful
Buddha said,
“If you can escape from my hand, you win”
“If you don’t, you lose”
But however far Monkey King flew, he was still on the Buddha’s hand
So Buddha won
The monkey king became Xuan Zang’s disciple
Then Xuan Zang gave a special headband to him
Whenever he is naughty, the special headband will become very tight
Now Monkey King will be kind to others
