Journey to the West 2

The Waterfall Cave

水帘洞

Monkey splashed 溅起水花 through the waterfall and landed in a large cave山洞. His eyes opened wide. The cave was filled充满 with bamboo, trees, and beautiful flowers. Moss苔藓 covered the walls. A stream flowed through the cave, and glowing light and mist水汽 filled the air.

Monkey found a long table with bowls, cups, and plates. A fireplace炉灶 sat against one

wall. Deeper in the cave, Monkey found bedrooms with cozy beds.

Outside, the other monkeys and apes were looking at the waterfall.

"Do you think he made it through 能成功?" asked one monkey.

"No," said another monkey. "He probably got washed away冲下水 down the river."

Suddenly—splash! Monkey shot out of the waterfall and landed in front of the group. "You're alive!" said a monkey.

Monkey laughed. "Yes! And we are very lucky! I found a perfect home for all of us. Follow me!"

Monkey jumped back through the water.

Some of the monkeys scratched their heads 抓耳挠腮.

"It still looks dangerous危险的," said one monkey.

"Let's go," said the gibbon长臂猿. He leaped 跳跃 through the waterfall.

After that, another monkey jumped through. Then some more jumped.

Soon all of the monkeys and apes were in the cave. Everyone ran around to see all the wonderful things.

"This cave is beautiful," said the gibbon.

Some of the monkeys and apes began fighting and arguing争吵. They grabbed plates and bowls from one another. Others fought over the bedrooms.

"I saw this bed first!" yelled 叫喊 one monkey.

"No!" yelled another monkey. "I did!"

Monkey watched his friends for a moment and then folded his arms.

"Ahem!" he called.

All the monkeys and apes stopped what they were doing. They looked at Monkey.

"I found this cave for us," said Monkey. "That means I am now your king. Why aren't you bowing to 向我鞠躬表示臣服 me?"

"He's right," said the gibbon. He bowed to Monkey and said, "All hail the Monkey King." 万岁的意思

Everyone else bowed too. "All hail the Monkey King!" they shouted.

Many years went by 过去了. During the day the monkeys and apes played in the forest and the stream. And every night they slept safely in their cave.

One night the monkeys and apes had a huge feast 宴会. Fruits and nuts covered the table.

Monkeys and apes danced and sang while music played.

Monkey sat on his throne 王座 and smiled. But then his smile faded笑容退去. Soon he was frowning皱眉.

The gibbon saw Monkey and rushed over急忙过来. "Your Majesty陛下," said the gibbon. "You

look sad不开心. What's wrong?"

Monkey sighed叹气. "Our life here is perfect." "Yes, that's true," said the gibbon.

"So why are you sad?"

Monkey was quiet for a moment. Then he said, "Someday our lives will end. I wish this perfect life could last forever."

The gibbon's eyes lit up. "Oh," he said. "You want to live forever?"

"I do," said Monkey.

The gibbon rubbed 摩擦 his chin下巴. "Then you must study with a sage 神仙. Sages are very wise

people. They can turn themselves into other animals. They can fly through the sky. And they know how to live forever."

Monkey smiled again. "Where can I find

a sage?" he asked.

"You must find a land with people," said the gibbon. "That's where you'll find a sage." The next morning Monkey built a raft 竹筏 and loaded food onto it.

He pushed the raft into the stream and jumped on.

As the raft began to float away, Monkey waved 挥手道别 to his friends.

"Don't worry!" he called. "After I learn how to live forever长生不老, I will return!"
