In November 1979, pupils in England were able to watch a new TV program (call) Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story the first time. However, this story is not new to Chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the (tradition) Chinese book Journey to the West.
The Monkay King is not just any normal monkey. fact, he sometimes does not even look like a monkey ! This is because he can make 72 (change) to his shape and size, turning himself into different animals and objects. But he can hide his tail, he cannot turn himself into a man. To fight bad people, the Monkey King uses magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick so small that he can keep it in his ear. other times, he is able to make it big and long.
And as soon as the TV program came out more than 30 years ago, (west) children became interested in reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps (fight) to help the weak and never gives up.
