文本：
The Jade Emperor was sitting on his
throne in the Cloud Palace.
A messenger ran into the court. “Your
Majesty,” he said. “The Dragon King of the
Eastern Sea is here to see you.”
“Let him in,” said the emperor.
The Dragon King entered and bowed.
“Your Majesty, I want to make a complaint.
Sun Wukong came to my palace and
T demanded I give him a weapon. He was very
rude.”
Another messenger came in. “The Judge
of the Dead would like to speak with you,
Your Majesty.”
The judge came in and bowed. “A monkey
named Sun Wukong crossed out his name in
the Directory. I beg you to punish him!”
The Jade Emperor rubbed his chin. “Who
is this Sun Wukong? And how did he become
so powerful?”
The emperor’s captain stepped forward.
“Sun Wukong is the monkey who was born
from a rock three hundred years ago. I don’t
know how he became so powerful.”
“I remember him,” said the Jade Emperor.
“I don’t care how powerful he is. He is
causing too much trouble on Earth. Gather
some troops, and go down to the Fruit and
Flower Mountain. I want Sun Wukong
arrested!”
The spirit of the planet Venus stepped
forward.
“Your Majesty,” said Venus. “Perhaps we
could give Wukong a job here in Heaven.”
The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows.
“Why would we do that?”
“If he’s here, we can keep an eye on him,”
said Venus. “It will be easy to keep him out
of trouble.”
“Very well,” said the emperor. “Invite
Wukong to come to live in Heaven. He will
be in charge of the Royal Peach Garden.”
Wukong was telling his subjects about his
* * *
adventure in the Land of Darkness.
“After I crossed out my name,” he said, “I
crossed out all of your names too. We will all
live forever!”
The monkeys and apes cheered. “Hooray
for the Monkey King!”
Wukong noticed a spirit standing nearby.
He pulled out his iron bar. “Who are you?”
“I am Venus,” said the spirit. “I have an
invitation from the Jade Emperor. He would
like you to come to live in Heaven.”
Wukong smiled. “At last he has invited
me.”
When Wukong entered the royal court in
the Cloud Palace, he didn’t bow.
“You’re supposed to bow before the
* * *
emperor,” whispered Venus.
Wukong laughed. “I’m just as powerful
as he is. Maybe he should bow before me!”
Everyone but the Jade Emperor gasped.
Wukong looked at the emperor. “I’m glad
you invited me. I guess you finally realized I
should be living up here with all of you.”
“Show some respect,” said Venus.
The Jade Emperor looked at Venus and
smiled. “Wukong is new here. He can be
excused for not acting the right way.” He
looked at Wukong. “I’m putting you in
charge of the Royal Peach Garden. You will
have a home here in Heaven. I hope you
won’t cause any more trouble.”
“That sounds perfect!” said Wukong.
The next morning a gardener showed
Wukong the peach garden. Bright, glowing
peaches hung from every branch.
“The peaches in this garden are not like
peaches on Earth,” said the gardener. “These
peaches take thousands of years to become
ripe. Anybody who takes a bite of one will
live forever.”
Each morning Wukong inspected the trees
in the garden. He took his job very seriously.
“These peaches look delicious,” Wukong
thought one day. He looked around. None of
the gardeners were in sight. “Maybe I’ll eat
one.”
