Havoc in Heaven

Name: ________________ Date: ________

孙悟空sūnwùkōng当dāng上shàng了le齐天大圣qítiān-dàshèng，又yòu管guǎn起qǐ了le蟠桃园。看kàn着zhe满园mǎnyuán的de桃子táozi，他tā口水kóushuǐ都dōu快kuài流liú下来xiàlai了le：这些zhèxiē桃子táozi吃chī了le可以kéyǐ长生不老chángshēng-bùlǎo，怎么zěnme忍得住rěndezhù呢ne？从此cóngcǐ，他tā常常chángcháng让ràng身边shēnbiān的de人rén先xiān出去chūqù，自己zìjǐ跳tiào上shàng树shù，只zhǐ吃chī又yòu大dà又yòu红hóng的de桃子táozi。

这zhè一天yìtiān，他tā吃饱chībǎo了le，把bǎ自己zìjǐ变得biànde很hěn小xiǎo很hěn小xiǎo，在zài树shù上shàng睡着shuìzháo了le。七qī位wèi仙女xiānnǚ来lái园子yuánzi里摘zhāi桃子táozi，一yì拉lā树枝shùzhī，把bǎ他tā吵醒cháoxǐng了le。仙女xiānnǚ们men说shuō：“王母娘娘wángmǔ-niángniang就要jiùyào开kāi蟠桃pántáo会huì了le，请qǐng的de是shì各路gèlù神仙shénxiān。”孙悟空sūnwùkōng问wèn：“请qǐng我wǒ了le没有méiyǒu？”“没méi听说tīngshuō。”孙悟空sūnwùkōng非常fēicháng生气shēngqì：“我wǒ是shì齐天大圣qítiān-dàshèng，竟然jìngrán不bù请qǐng我wǒ！”他tā用yòng法术fǎshù喊hǎn了le一声yìshēng：“住zhù！”七qī位wèi仙女xiānnǚ全都quándōu定dìng在zài树shù下xià，一yí动dòng也yě动不了dòngbuliǎo。

孙悟空sūnwùkōng抢先qiǎngxiān来到láidào蟠桃会。客人kèren还hái没méi到dào，桌子zhuōzi上shàng已经yǐjīng摆bǎi满mǎn了le好吃hǎochī的de，到处dàochù都dōu是shì酒香jiǔxiāng。他tā拔bá下xià几jǐ根gēn毛máo，变成biànchéng瞌睡虫kēshuìchóng，让ràng管guǎn酒jiǔ的de人rén全都quándōu睡着shuìzháo了le，然后ránhòu抱bào起qǐ酒缸jiǔgāng，一口气yìkǒuqì喝hē了le很hěn多duō。

他tā喝hē得de东倒西歪dōngdǎo-xīwāi，走zǒu错cuò了le路lù，走进zǒujìn了le太上老君tàishàng-lǎojūn的de兜率宫。老君lǎojūn不bú在家zàijiā，房间fángjiān里放fàng着zhe五wǔ个gè葫芦húlu，里面lǐmiàn装满zhuāngmǎn了le金丹jīndān。孙悟空sūnwùkōng笑道xiàodào：“正zhèng想xiǎng尝尝chángchang这zhè宝贝bǎobèi！”他tā像xiàng吃chī炒chǎo豆子dòuzi一样yíyàng，把bǎ金丹jīndān全quán吃chī光guāng了le。酒醒jiúxǐng以后yǐhòu，他tā才cái知道zhīdào闯chuǎng了le大祸dàhuò，赶紧gánjǐn回到huídào了le花果山huāguǒshān。

玉皇大帝yùhuáng-dàdì气qì坏huài了le，派出pàichū十万shíwàn天兵tiānbīng，把bǎ花果山huāguǒshān围wéi了le起来qǐlai，可是kěshì天兵天将tiānbīng-tiānjiàng一个个yígègè都dōu被bèi打败dǎbài了le。最后zuìhòu，观音菩萨guānyīn-púsà推荐tuījiàn了le二郎神èrlángshén。二郎神èrlángshén带dài着zhe哮天犬quǎn赶来gǎnlái，和hé孙悟空sūnwùkōng大战dàzhàn三百多sānbǎiduō回合huíhé，还是háishi谁shéi也yě赢不了yíngbuliǎo谁shéi。

孙悟空sūnwùkōng变成biànchéng麻雀máquè飞fēi上shàng树shù，二郎神èrlángshén就jiù变成biànchéng老鹰lǎoyīng去qù抓zhuā他tā；孙悟空sūnwùkōng变成biànchéng鱼yú钻进zuānjìn水shuǐ里，二郎神èrlángshén又yòu变成biànchéng鱼鹰yúyīng在zài水边shuǐbiān等děng着zhe。最后zuìhòu，孙悟空sūnwùkōng变成biànchéng一yí座zuò小xiǎo庙miào，嘴巴zuǐba当dāng门mén，眼睛yǎnjing当dāng窗户chuānghu，只有zhíyǒu尾巴wěiba藏cáng不住búzhù，只好zhíhǎo变成biànchéng一yì根gēn旗杆qígān，立lì在zài庙miào后面hòumiàn。二郎神èrlángshén哈哈大笑hāhā-dàxiào：“我wǒ见jiàn过guò的de庙miào多duō了le，哪nǎ有yǒu旗杆qígān在zài后面hòumiàn的de？一定yídìng是shì那nà猴子hóuzi！”

正在zhèngzài这时zhèshí，太上老君tàishàng-lǎojūn从cóng天上tiānshàng扔下rēngxià一个yígè金jīn圈quān，正好zhènghǎo打中dǎzhòng孙悟空sūnwùkōng的de头tóu。他tā一下子yíxiàzi摔倒shuāidǎo了le，哮天犬冲chōng上来shànglai咬yǎo住zhù他tā的de小腿xiáotuǐ，大家dàjiā一起yìqǐ冲chōng上去shàngqu，把bǎ他tā绑bǎng了le起来qǐlái。

可是kěshì，用yòng刀dāo砍kǎn，用yòng火huǒ烧shāo，都dōu伤不了shāngbuliǎo他tā一yì根gēn毛máo。太上老君tàishàng-lǎojūn说shuō：“这zhè猴子hóuzi吃chī了le我wǒ的de金丹jīndān，身体shēntǐ比bǐ石头shítou还hái硬yìng。交给jiāogěi我wǒ吧ba，放进fàngjìn八卦bāguà炉lú里烧shāo一yì烧shāo！”

于是yúshì，孙悟空sūnwùkōng被bèi关guān进jìn八卦bāguà炉lú，烧shāo了le整整zhéngzhěng四十九sìshíjiǔ天tiān。还好háihǎo他tā躲duǒ进jìn了le“巽xùn”位wèi。巽xùn是shì风fēng，有yǒu风fēng就jiù没有méiyǒu火huǒ，所以suóyǐ他tā没méi被bèi烧伤shāoshāng。只是zhǐshì烟yān太tài大dà，把bǎ他tā的de两liǎng只zhī眼睛yǎnjing熏得de通红tōnghóng。从此cóngcǐ，他tā有yǒu了le一双yìshuāng“火眼金睛huóyǎn-jīnjīng”，不管bùguǎn什么shénme妖怪yāoguài变biàn的de，他tā一眼yìyǎn就jiù能néng认rèn出来chūlai。

第四十九dìsì-shíjiǔ天tiān，老君lǎojūn刚gāng把bǎ炉lú门mén打开dǎkāi，孙悟空sūnwùkōng就jiù跳tiào了le出来chūlái，一yì脚jiǎo踢tī翻fān了le八卦bāguà炉lú，拿出náchū金箍棒jīngūbàng，见jiàn人rén就jiù打dǎ，一直yìzhí打dǎ到dào了le灵霄殿外wài。

玉皇大帝yùhuáng-dàdì害怕hàipà了le：天上tiānshàng已经yǐjīng没有méiyǒu人rén能néng挡住dǎngzhù这zhè只zhī猴子hóuzi了le！他tā只好zhíhǎo派pài人rén到dào西天xītiān去qù请qǐng如来rúlái佛祖fózǔ来lái帮忙bāngmáng。这zhè一回yìhuí，齐天大圣qítiān-dàshèng还hái笑得出来xiàode-chūlái吗ma？

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?
