Sun Wukong
PLK Choi Kai Yau School (Primary), Wong, James - 8
Sun Wukong, a mischievous monkey,
With magic of transformations and the cloud trapeze,
Seize the iron staff from the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea at ease.
Sun Wukong, declare himself “Great Sage”,
Cause lot of troubles in Heaven and in Hell,
Detained beneath the Five-peaked Mountain for 500 years with a spell.
Sun Wukong, accepted as a disciple,
Follow Xuanzang and set off with Pigsy and Sandy with a quest,
Accompanied by White Dragon Horse prince on a journey to the west.
Sun Wukong, nimble and brilliant,
Pluck his hairs and blow into clones of himself,
Defeat demons and monstrous creatures,
Help Xuanzang fetch the true scriptures.
Sun Wukong, now repented and be good,
Mission fulfilled and challenges resolved,
Metal ring with spell placed around his head be removed.
