大闹天宫
Havoc in Heaven
Name: ________________ Date: ________
孙悟空当上了齐天大圣，又管起了蟠桃园。看着满园的桃子，他口水都快流下来了：这些桃子吃了可以长生不老，怎么忍得住呢？从此，他常常让身边的人先出去，自己跳上树，只吃又大又红的桃子。
这一天，他吃饱了，把自己变得很小很小，在树上睡着了。七位仙女来园子里摘桃子，一拉树枝，把他吵醒了。仙女们说：“王母娘娘就要开蟠桃会了，请的是各路神仙。”孙悟空问：“请我了没有？”“没听说。”孙悟空非常生气：“我是齐天大圣，竟然不请我！”他用法术喊了一声：“住！”七位仙女全都定在树下，一动也动不了。
孙悟空抢先来到蟠桃会。客人还没到，桌子上已经摆满了好吃的，到处都是酒香。他拔下几根毛，变成瞌睡虫，让管酒的人全都睡着了，然后抱起酒缸，一口气喝了很多。
他喝得东倒西歪，走错了路，走进了太上老君的兜率宫。老君不在家，房间里放着五个葫芦，里面装满了金丹。孙悟空笑道：“正想尝尝这宝贝！”他像吃炒豆子一样，把金丹全吃光了。酒醒以后，他才知道闯了大祸，赶紧回到了花果山。
玉皇大帝气坏了，派出十万天兵，把花果山围了起来，可是天兵天将一个个都被打败了。最后，观音菩萨推荐了二郎神。二郎神带着哮天犬赶来，和孙悟空大战三百多回合，还是谁也赢不了谁。
孙悟空变成麻雀飞上树，二郎神就变成老鹰去抓他；孙悟空变成鱼钻进水里，二郎神又变成鱼鹰在水边等着。最后，孙悟空变成一座小庙，嘴巴当门，眼睛当窗户，只有尾巴藏不住，只好变成一根旗杆，立在庙后面。二郎神哈哈大笑：“我见过的庙多了，哪有旗杆在后面的？一定是那猴子！”
正在这时，太上老君从天上扔下一个金圈，正好打中孙悟空的头。他一下子摔倒了，哮天犬冲上来咬住他的小腿，大家一起冲上去，把他绑了起来。
可是，用刀砍，用火烧，都伤不了他一根毛。太上老君说：“这猴子吃了我的金丹，身体比石头还硬。交给我吧，放进八卦炉里烧一烧！”
于是，孙悟空被关进八卦炉，烧了整整四十九天。还好他躲进了“巽”位。巽是风，有风就没有火，所以他没被烧伤。只是烟太大，把他的两只眼睛熏得通红。从此，他有了一双“火眼金睛”，不管什么妖怪变的，他一眼就能认出来。
第四十九天，老君刚把炉门打开，孙悟空就跳了出来，一脚踢翻了八卦炉，拿出金箍棒，见人就打，一直打到了灵霄殿外。
玉皇大帝害怕了：天上已经没有人能挡住这只猴子了！他只好派人到西天去请如来佛祖来帮忙。这一回，齐天大圣还笑得出来吗？

English (for the teacher)
Sun Wukong had become the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and now he was in charge of the Peach Garden too. Looking at the garden full of peaches, his mouth practically watered: eat these peaches and you live forever, so how could he hold back? From then on, he would often send the people around him out first, then leap up into the trees and eat only the biggest, reddest peaches.
One day, when he had eaten his fill, he made himself tiny and fell asleep up in a tree. Seven fairies came to the garden to pick peaches, pulled on a branch, and woke him up. The fairies said: "The Queen Mother is about to hold the Peach Banquet, and the guests are gods from every quarter." Sun Wukong asked: "Was I invited?" "Not that we've heard." Sun Wukong was furious: "I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and they didn't invite me!" He cast a spell and shouted: "Freeze!" All seven fairies were fixed to the spot under the tree, unable to move a muscle.
Sun Wukong got to the Peach Banquet ahead of everyone. The guests hadn't arrived yet, the tables were already laid with delicious food, and the smell of wine was everywhere. He plucked out a few hairs and turned them into sleep bugs, which put all the wine stewards to sleep; then he picked up a wine jar and gulped down a great deal in one go.
He drank until he was staggering all over the place, took a wrong turn, and wandered into Lord Laozi's Tushita Palace. Laozi wasn't home, and in the room stood five gourds full of golden pills. Sun Wukong laughed: "I was just wanting to try this treasure!" He ate them like fried beans, until every golden pill was gone. When he sobered up, he realised what a disaster he had caused, and hurried back to Flower Fruit Mountain.
The Jade Emperor was livid; he sent out a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers to surround Flower Fruit Mountain, but the heavenly soldiers and generals were beaten one after another. In the end, the bodhisattva Guanyin recommended Erlang Shen. Erlang Shen hurried over with his Howling Celestial Hound and fought Sun Wukong for more than three hundred rounds, and still neither could beat the other.
Sun Wukong turned into a sparrow and flew up into a tree, so Erlang Shen turned into a hawk to catch him; Sun Wukong turned into a fish and dived into the water, so Erlang Shen turned into a cormorant and waited by the water. At last Sun Wukong turned into a little temple, with his mouth as the door and his eyes as the windows; only his tail wouldn't hide, so he had to turn it into a flagpole standing behind the temple. Erlang Shen roared with laughter: "I've seen plenty of temples, but whoever heard of one with the flagpole at the back? It must be that monkey!"
Just then, Lord Laozi threw a golden ring down from the sky, and it hit Sun Wukong right on the head. He went sprawling, the Howling Celestial Hound rushed up and bit him on the leg, and everyone piled in and tied him up.
But whether they hacked at him with swords or burned him with fire, none of it could harm a single hair on his body. Lord Laozi said: "This monkey ate my golden pills, and now his body is harder than stone. Hand him to me, and I'll put him in my Eight Trigrams Furnace and give him a good roasting!"
So Sun Wukong was shut in the Eight Trigrams Furnace and burned for forty-nine whole days. Luckily, he hid in the "Xun" position. Xun is wind, and where there is wind there is no fire, so he wasn't burned. But the smoke was so thick that it turned both his eyes bright red. From then on he had a pair of "fiery golden eyes": whatever monster was hiding behind a disguise, he could spot it at a glance.
On the forty-ninth day, the moment Laozi opened the furnace door, Sun Wukong leapt out, kicked the Eight Trigrams Furnace over, took out his Golden-Hooped Staff and hit everyone he saw, fighting his way right up to the Hall of Divine Mists.
The Jade Emperor was terrified: there was no one left in heaven who could stop this monkey! He had no choice but to send someone to the Western Heaven to ask the Buddha for help. This time, would the Great Sage still be laughing?
