In November 1979, pupils in England able to watch a new TV programme called Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story the first time. However, this story is not new to (China) children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the traditional Chinese book Journey to the West.
The Monkey King is not just normal monkey. In fact, he sometimes does not even look like a monkey! This is because he can make seventy·two changes to his shape and size, turning himself into different animals and objects. But unless he can hide his tail, he can't turn (he) into a person. (fight) bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small he can keep it in his ear. At other times, he is able to make it big and long.
The children of China (love) the Monkey King for many years. And as soon as the TV programme came out more than 30 (year) ago, Western children became (interesting) in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps fighting to help the weak and never gives up.
