My Story to the West
Ying Wa Primary School , Lam , Timothy Yu Ching - 11
Hello , my name is Pigsy And welcome to my story . It happened a thousand years ago And let ’ s see how it goes .
I was once a villain , Used to kill people with my weapon , Until I fought with the Monkey King . And yes , that was a new thing !
Anyway , I followed the Tang Monk ( Although I always got drunk ) To the faraway west And of course I wasn ’ t upset !
We once went by a spider ’ s cave And we , being brave Went straight into the interior And saw a giant spider .
The Monkey hit her on the head But surprisingly she wasn ’ t dead . Finally , we got her on the ground And that was a lovely sound !
The rest wasn ’ t that exciting – There wasn ’ t much fighting But we finally got to the sacred place And that wasn ’ t such a disgrace .
We got the sacred texts And got back from the west . We were treated as heroes But is there really a moral ?
Well yeah , teamwork and bravery , They ’ re as good as I see . But one thing that I ’ ll truly lend Is really ‘ trust your friends ’.
Oh , it ’ s getting late now But I ’ m still talking anyhow . So , good luck on your journey ‘ Cus I ’ m really in a hurry .
