唐僧tángsēng吓xià了le一yí大dà跳tiào。这些zhèxiē天tiān，他tā已经yǐjīng遇到yùdào了le很hěn多duō让ràng人rén害怕hàipà的de事shì：两liǎng个gè跟着gēnzhe他tā的de人rén，都dōu被bèi山shān里的de妖怪yāoguài吃chī了le。还好háihǎo，有yǒu一yí个gè人rén救jiù了le他tā。这zhè个gè人rén叫jiào刘伯钦，他tā一直yìzhí把bǎ唐僧tángsēng送sòng到dào了le这里zhèlǐ。

刘伯钦说shuō：“别bié怕pà。这zhè座zuò山shān叫jiào五行山。听说tīngshuō五百wúbǎi年nián前qián，山shān下面xiàmiàn压yā了le一yì只zhī会huì说话shuōhuà的de猴子hóuzi。叫jiào你nǐ的de，一定yídìng是shì他tā。”

他们tāmen走zǒu过去guòqu一yí看kàn，山shān下面xiàmiàn有yǒu一个yígè猴子hóuzi的de头tóu。他tā的de头上tóushang长zhǎng了le很hěn多duō草cǎo，脸liǎn上shàng都dōu是shì土tǔ。他tā的de两liǎng只zhī手shǒu可以kéyǐ动dòng，可是kěshì身体shēntǐ出不来chūbulái。

孙悟空sūnwùkōng说shuō：“师父shīfu，你nǐ怎么zěnme才cái来lái？观音菩萨guānyīn-púsà让ràng我wǒ在zài这里zhèlǐ等děng你nǐ。你nǐ让ràng我wǒ出来chūlái，我wǒ就jiù跟着gēnzhe你nǐ去qù西天xītiān！”唐僧tángsēng问wèn：“我wǒ没有méiyǒu刀dāo，也yě没有méiyǒu别的biéde东西dōngxī，怎么zěnme让ràng你nǐ出来chūlái？”孙悟空sūnwùkōng说shuō：“山shān上面shàngmiàn有yǒu如来rúlái佛祖fózǔ的de一yì张zhāng纸zhǐ，纸zhǐ上shàng写xiě着zhe六liù个gè金色jīnsè的de字zì。你nǐ把bǎ纸zhǐ拿ná下来xiàlai，我wǒ就jiù能néng出来chūlái了le。”

唐僧tángsēng往wǎng山shān上shàng爬pá，爬pá到dào最高zuìgāo的de地方dìfang，真的zhēnde看见kànjiàn了le那nà张zhāng纸zhǐ。他tā拜bài了le拜bài，说shuō：“如果rúguǒ他tā真的zhēnde是shì我wǒ的de徒弟túdi，就jiù让ràng我wǒ拿下náxià这zhè张zhāng纸zhǐ。”他tā轻轻qīngqīng一yì拿ná，纸zhǐ就jiù下来xiàlái了le，风fēng一yì吹chuī，纸zhǐ就jiù飞走fēizǒu了le。

孙悟空sūnwùkōng大dà叫jiào：“师父shīfu，你们nǐmen走zǒu远yuǎn一点yìdiǎn，我wǒ要yào出来chūlái了le！”唐僧tángsēng和hé刘伯钦往wǎng东dōng走zǒu了le很hěn远yuǎn。只zhǐ听tīng“轰hōng”的de一声yìshēng，大山dàshān一下子yíxiàzi分开fēnkāi了le，石头shítou飞fēi得de很hěn远yuǎn很hěn远yuǎn。孙悟空sūnwùkōng跳tiào了le出来chūlái，跪guì在zài唐僧tángsēng面前miànqián：“师父shīfu！”

唐僧tángsēng问wèn他tā：“你nǐ叫jiào什么shénme名字míngzi？”他tā说shuō：“我wǒ叫jiào孙悟空sūnwùkōng。”唐僧tángsēng笑xiào了le：“好hǎo名字míngzi！我wǒ再zài给gěi你nǐ起qǐ一yí个gè名字míngzi，叫jiào孙行者sūnxíngzhě，好hǎo吗ma？”孙悟空sūnwùkōng说shuō：“好hǎo！好hǎo！”刘伯钦看到kàndào唐僧tángsēng有yǒu了le徒弟túdi，就jiù跟gēn他们tāmen说shuō了le再见zàijiàn，回家huíjiā去qù了le。

他们tāmen两liǎng个gè人rén往wǎng西xī走zǒu。没méi走zǒu多duō远yuǎn，路边lùbiān跳tiào出来chūlái一yì只zhī大dà老虎láohǔ。唐僧tángsēng吓xià得de说不出shuōbuchū话huà来lái。孙悟空sūnwùkōng却què很hěn高兴gāoxìng：“别bié怕pà，它tā是shì来lái给gěi我wǒ送sòng衣服yīfu的de！”

他tā从cóng耳朵ěrduo里拿出náchū一yì根gēn小小xiáoxiǎo的de针zhēn，风fēng一yì吹chuī，它tā就jiù变得biànde又yòu大dà又yòu长。唐僧tángsēng看kàn得de一yí动dòng也yě不bú动dòng。原来yuánlái，这zhè就是jiùshì孙悟空sūnwùkōng的de金箍棒jīngūbàng！孙悟空sūnwùkōng拿起náqǐ它tā，一下yíxià就jiù把bǎ老虎láohǔ打死dásǐ了le。

他tā用yòng一yì根gēn毛máo变biàn出chū一yì把bǎ刀dāo，把bǎ老虎láohǔ的de皮pí拿ná下来xiàlai，做zuò了le一yì条tiáo裙子qúnzi，穿chuān在zài身上shēnshang。晚上wǎnshang，他们tāmen住zhù在zài一yí个gè老人lǎorén的de家里jiālǐ。老人lǎorén看见kànjiàn孙悟空sūnwùkōng的de样子yàngzi，很hěn害怕hàipà，想xiǎng关门guānmén。唐僧tángsēng说shuō：“别bié怕pà，他tā是shì我wǒ的de徒弟túdi。”孙悟空sūnwùkōng跟gēn唐僧tángsēng要yào了le一yì根gēn针zhēn和hé一些yìxiē线xiàn，把bǎ这zhè条tiáo裙子qúnzi做zuò得de更gèng好hǎo了le。唐僧tángsēng又yòu把bǎ自己zìjǐ的de一yí件jiàn白bái衣服yīfu给gěi了le他tā。

唐僧tángsēng看kàn着zhe他tā，心里xīnli很hěn高兴gāoxìng：“有yǒu了le这个zhège徒弟túdi，去qù西天xītiān的de路lù，我wǒ就jiù不怕búpà了le！”

English (for the teacher)

The Tang Monk jumped with fright. In the last few days he had already met with many frightening things: the two men travelling with him had both been eaten by demons in the mountains. Luckily, someone had saved him. This man was called Liu Boqin, and he had brought the Tang Monk all the way here.

Liu Boqin said: "Don't be afraid. This mountain is called Five-Element Mountain. They say that five hundred years ago a talking monkey was pinned under it. That must be who's calling you."

They walked over and looked: at the foot of the mountain there was a monkey's head. Grass grew all over his head, and his face was covered in dirt. He could move both hands, but his body couldn't get out.

Sun Wukong said: "Master, what took you so long? Guanyin told me to wait for you here. Let me out, and I'll follow you to the Western Paradise!" The Tang Monk asked: "I have no knife and nothing else. How can I get you out?" Sun Wukong said: "On top of the mountain there's a sheet of paper from the Buddha, with six golden characters written on it. Take the paper down, and I'll be able to get out."

The Tang Monk climbed the mountain, and at the very top he really did see the paper. He bowed and said: "If he truly is my disciple, let me take this paper down." He pulled it gently and the paper came away; the wind blew, and the paper flew off.

Sun Wukong shouted: "Master, go a little way off. I'm coming out!" The Tang Monk and Liu Boqin walked a long way to the east. There was a great crash, the mountain split open, and rocks flew far and wide. Sun Wukong leapt out and knelt before the Tang Monk: "Master!"

The Tang Monk asked him: "What is your name?" He said: "My name is Sun Wukong." The Tang Monk smiled: "A good name! Let me give you another name as well: Sun the Pilgrim. All right?" Sun Wukong said: "Yes! Yes!" When Liu Boqin saw that the Tang Monk had a disciple, he said goodbye to them and went home.

The two of them headed west. They hadn't gone far when a big tiger jumped out by the road. The Tang Monk was so frightened he couldn't speak. But Sun Wukong was delighted: "Don't be afraid, he's come to bring me some clothes!"

He took a tiny needle out of his ear; the wind blew on it, and it grew big and long. The Tang Monk stared without moving. So this was Sun Wukong's golden-hooped staff! Sun Wukong picked it up and killed the tiger with one blow.

He turned one of his hairs into a knife, took off the tiger's skin, made it into a skirt and put it on. That night they stayed at an old man's house. When the old man saw what Sun Wukong looked like, he was frightened and wanted to shut the door. The Tang Monk said: "Don't be afraid, he's my disciple." Sun Wukong asked the Tang Monk for a needle and some thread, and made the skirt even better. The Tang Monk also gave him one of his own white robes.

The Tang Monk watched him, very happy inside: "With this disciple, I'm not afraid of the road to the Western Paradise!"

But the next morning, just as they walked into a wood, six men with knives jumped out...
