Wukong plucked a peach from a branch and bit into it.
“This peach tastes wonderful!” he said. 
He ate another peach. And then he ate 
another one.
Each morning after that, Wukong secretly 
ate more and more peaches. After eating he 
climbed into a tree and took a nap.
Time went by, and Wukong enjoyed his  life in Heaven. 
Meanwhile the queen of Heaven was 
busy. It was almost time for the annual Peach 
Festival. She called for her maidens, Red 
Gown and Blue Gown.
“How may we help you?” asked Red 
Gown.
“The Peach Festival is tomorrow,” said 
the queen. “All the important gods and spirits 
in Heaven will be here. I also invited the 
bodhisattva Guanyin, the goddess of mercy. 
Go to the Peach Garden now, and pick plenty 
of ripe peaches.”
Red Gown and Blue Gown went to the 
garden. As soon as they went through the 
gate, both maidens gasped.
“Where are all the peaches?” cried Red Gown.
“They’re . . . gone!” cried Blue Gown.
“This is terrible!” said Red Gown. “The 
queen will be angry!”
Wukong had been sleeping up on a branch. 
When he heard the maidens, he woke up.
“Who’s making all this noise?” he asked, 
jumping down to the ground. “I’m trying to 
sleep!”
The maidens were startled. “We’re sorry 
to wake you, sir,” said Red Gown. “We came 
to pick peaches for the Peach Festival. Do 
you know what happened to—”
“The Peach Festival?” said Wukong. His 
eyes lit up. “I didn’t hear about that.”
“Oh, it’s a wonderful festival,” said Blue 
Gown. “All the important gods and spirits 
will be there.”
“That sounds like fun,” said Wukong. 
“I’m sure I’m invited, right?”
Red Gown bit her lip. “Um, I don’t think so.”
Wukong was furious. “The queen did not 
invite me? I’m just as important as any other 
spirit or god!”
The maidens looked nervous.
“Sir,” said Blue Gown. “Where are the 
peaches?”
“I ate them,” said Wukong. “I ate every 
single one! And they were delicious!”
“Oh no!” cried Red Gown. “We must tell 
the queen.”
“No, you’re not going to tell the queen,” said Wukong.
He quickly said a spell. Instantly Red 
Gown and Blue Gown fell asleep.
Wukong looked at all the empty peach 
trees. He shook his head. “I’m in big trouble.”
When Red Gown and Blue Gown woke 
up, they ran back to the Cloud Palace. 
“Your Majesty!” cried Red Gown. 
“Something terrible has happened! Sun 
Wukong ate all the peaches!”
“He got very angry and cast a spell on 
us,” added Blue Gown. “When we woke up, 
he was gone.” 
The queen’s eyes flashed with anger. She 
went to the royal court and told the Jade 
Emperor.
“That horrible monkey!” cried the 
emperor. He turned to his captain. “Gather 
100,000 soldiers. I want Wukong arrested!”
The captain nodded and then left the palace.
Meanwhile the bodhisattva Guanyin left 
her home on Mount Potalaka in the South 
Sea. She soon arrived at the Cloud Palace.
“I’m sorry to tell you this,” said the 
queen. “But there won’t be a peach festival.”
“Why not?” asked Guanyin.
“A monkey named Sun Wukong ate 
all the peaches,” said the emperor. “I sent 
100,000 soldiers to arrest him. They’ll bring 
him back to Heaven soon.”
Just then a messenger ran into the court. 
“We need more soldiers, Your Majesty!” 
“What?” cried the emperor.
“Wukong defeated the entire army,” said 
the messenger.
The Jade Emperor put his head in his 
hands. “We don’t have any more soldiers!”
