 Journey to the West  

Hello everyone. My name is Dou. I'm eleven years old.

Today I want to talk about my favorite story, “Journey to the West”. I want to be good at magic like Sun Wukong. I want to travel all over the world. Today, I will introduce the story, “The Land of Darkness” from the Sun Wukong series to you.

Sun Wukong visited the Dragon King to find the most powerful weapon, and took the iron bar which has magical power.  Wukong made the bar smaller. Soon, it was no bigger than a pin. He placed it inside his ear and left. The Dragon King clenched his fists. "He was very rude. I'm going to report him to the Jade Emperor!" 

Wukong went to bed happy, but as he fell asleep, two spirits grabbed him.  "What are you doing?" asked Wukong. "Let go of me!" They walked toward a dark and creepy city. A sign on the entrance gate said "Land of Darkness." "The Land of Darkness?" cried Wukong. "That's where people go when they die. I'm supposed to live forever!" 

 He yanked his arms free. "Grow!" he cried. His iron bar quickly grew. Whap! He knocked out the first spirit. Crack! He knocked out the second spirit. A tall spirit stepped out of the palace. "What's going on out here?" the spirit asked. 

"Who are you?" asked Wukong. 

"I am the Judge of the Dead," said the spirit. "Why are you causing all this trouble?" 

"I want to know why I was brought here," said Wukong. "Tell me now!" 

 The judge said: "If you were brought here, it means your time on Earth is over."  

"Nonsense!" yelled Wukong. "I'm going to live forever!" 

"Let's check the Directory," he said. "The Directory contains the name and age of every creature on Earth. It says when each creature will die." 

 “Here it is," said the judge. "It says 'Sun Wukong. Born from a stone three hundred years ago, died today.' " 

 "The Directory isn't wrong," said the judge. "You'll have to stay here now." Wukong shook his head. "No. I'm going to live forever." "Give me that book!" 

Wukong plucked two of his hairs and blew on them. They turned into a brush and a jar of ink. He drew a line through his name. 

 "You can't do that!" said the judge. 

"Yes, I can," said Wukong. 

 Next, Wukong found the names of all the other monkeys and apes. He crossed out their names too. "Now I really will live forever," said Wukong. 

This is the end of today's story.

The interesting and long trip of Sun Wukong continues.
