00:00To the West. Chapter 17. The Dragon in the River.
00:11That dragon ate my horse! said the monk. He fell to his knees.
00:18How will I ever get to the western paradise? There are so many dangers along the way.
00:24Wukong laughed.
00:25Master, you worry too much. There will be many dangers on your journey.
00:32But you have me, the Monkey King, to protect you.
00:36All of Heaven's soldiers couldn't defeat me, so why worry about a dragon?
00:47The monkey stepped into the water and pulled out his iron bar.
00:52I'll get the dragon to come out of the water.
00:55He looked down at the water.
00:57Dragon!
00:59Get up here right now!
01:02The dragon leaped from the water.
01:06How dare you yell at me? Who are you?
01:12It doesn't matter who I am! shouted Wukong.
01:15Give that horse back!
01:17The monkey attacked the dragon with his iron bar.
01:24The dragon spun around, blocking the bar with his tail.
01:28Then with a splash, he dived back underwater.
01:32Wukong stomped his foot and yelled at the river.
01:35Coward!
01:35What will we do? asked the Tang Monk.
01:41I have no horse.
01:44Wukong nodded.
01:46And we can't cross the river with that dragon in there.
01:49I'll try another plan.
01:50The monkey swirled the water with his iron bar.
01:56The water became rough.
01:58Waves crashed and churned.
02:01The water dragged up dirt from the river bottom.
02:05Soon the river was brown and muddy.
02:08The dragon appeared again.
02:09What on earth are you doing now?
02:14He cried.
02:15I'm trying to take a nap.
02:18Give us back our horse!
02:20Demanded Wukong.
02:22I can't.
02:24Cried the dragon.
02:25It's in my stomach.
02:28The monkey attacked the dragon again.
02:33But once more, the dragon disappeared under the water.
02:36For more than three hours, Wukong yelled at the river.
02:43He yelled all kinds of insults.
02:45But the dragon would not come back up.
02:49Wukong climbed up the riverbank.
02:54And sat down next to the Tang Monk.
02:58That dragon is tough.
03:00I'm not afraid of him.
03:01But I can't beat him either.
03:03I need help.
03:04Who can help you?
03:06Asked the Tang Monk.
03:08Wukong thought for a moment.
03:11Guan Yin told me I can ask her for help if I need it.
03:14Yes.
03:15Said the Tang Monk.
03:17She told me the same thing.
03:19Wukong felt the headband and shot a look at the monk.
03:23She already did help you.
03:24She gave you this tight headband.
03:27He sighed.
03:29But that doesn't matter now.
03:33You wait here.
03:34I'll be back soon.
03:34Wukong shot into the air and flew south.
03:41Soon he came to Mount Potolaca in the South Sea.
03:46Guan Yin was in a garden next to her pagoda.
03:50Hello, Wukong.
03:51She said.
03:52How is the journey going?
03:54I see you're wearing the headband.
03:56Yes, thanks to your dirty tricks.
04:00Said the monkey.
04:02Guan Yin smiled.
04:03You need that headband, Wukong.
04:06You are too violent and cruel.
04:10Wukong rolled his eyes.
04:13Fine.
04:14I'm here because I have a problem.
04:16We reached a wide river with a dragon in it.
04:19The dragon ate our horse.
04:22Did you tell the dragon that you're traveling with the Tang Monk?
04:26Asked Guan Yin.
04:27No.
04:28Said the monkey.
04:30Why?
04:31Guan Yin sighed.
04:34That dragon was waiting for you.
04:37When I met him, he was being punished for setting fire to his father's palace.
04:42I told him to help the Tang Monk reach the Western Paradise.
04:48That way, he can earn forgiveness.
04:52Wukong scratched his head.
04:55It's too late for that now.
04:56He won't come out of the water.
