Story: Monkey was the smartest animal in China, and he was the king of the monkeys. But he wasn't good king because he always stole and demanded food and gifts. People begged the Emperor of Heaven because he always caused so much problems. The Emperor took him to heaven, and he was given a job, which is taking care of horses. One day he quarreled with a footman and got angry. So he stormed our of Heaven. The Emperor gave him a new job, which is keeper of the Heavenly Peach Garden, where there are 3 kinds of peach trees, and each peach has a special power. Yellow one makes person smart, orange one helps person to fly, and purple one makes person live forever. He tried the purple one, then he ate and ate, again and again... In summer, the Empress of Heaven started to prepare for her yearly Peach Banquet. She needed the peaches for it, so she sent her servants to the garden in order to get them. They picked a few yellow and orange peaches, they couldn't find purple one because the monkey ate almost all of it. Finally, they found one but he didn't want them to get it because he didn't know the Banquet will be held. He went complain to the Empress. He found many food in a hall and stole one, then he hid into a cupboard. He found magic potion made by purple peach there and he drunk all. The Emperor finally got mad, so he asked Buddha to help. Buddha is the strongest lord in Heaven. Buddha said 'If you can jump further than my land, I will make you Emperor.' Monkey accepted and did that. However, monkey was in Buddha's hand all that time. Monkey couldn't win even though he'd got special power by the peaches. Then, Buddha buried Monkey under a giant mountain.
This book is separated to 3 chapters as usual, but this book was kinda different because the stories of 3 chapters are connected. Stories were interesting, and I could know about monkey in China.
