00:00Journey to the West, Chapter 16, Wukong Gets Tricked
00:06Wukong looked at the Dragon King and sighed.
00:16You're right, said the monkey.
00:18I did make a promise to Guan Yin.
00:21He put down his teacup and stood up.
00:25Thank you, my friend. I will visit again soon.
00:28The Dragon King smiled.
00:31Good luck, Wukong.
00:33The monkey hurried out of the Dragon King's palace.
00:40He found the Tang monk traveling alongside a stream.
00:45Master, I have returned, he called.
00:50I'm glad you're back, Wukong, said the monk.
00:54I'm hungry.
00:55I'll find a village and beg for some food for you, said the monkey.
01:01You don't need to do that, said the monk.
01:04There's rice in the bag. You can cook that.
01:07The monk got down from the horse.
01:14Wukong opened the bag.
01:16When he looked inside, his eyes opened wide.
01:20He pulled out the headband.
01:22This headband is marvelous, said Wukong.
01:27Oh?
01:28Said the monk, watching the monkey closely.
01:31Do you like it?
01:33Yes, said Wukong.
01:35Try it on, said the monk.
01:38Really?
01:39Asked Wukong.
01:40The monk nodded.
01:43Wukong put the headband on.
01:45He looked at his reflection in the stream.
01:53I look handsome, said Wukong.
01:56Thanks for...
01:56Ah!
01:58The monkey grabbed the sides of his head and fell over.
02:02His eyes bulged.
02:03My head's going to explode, he cried.
02:09He saw the Tang monk talking quietly.
02:13What?
02:13What are you saying?
02:15Cried Wukong.
02:17The Tang monk stopped talking, and the pain stopped.
02:21The Bodhisattva Guan Yin taught me a spell, said the monk.
02:24She gave me the headband to force you to be good.
02:29Wukong pulled at the headband, but it wouldn't come off.
02:33It's stuck, cried the monkey.
02:35He stamped his foot.
02:37You tricked me.
02:40It's for your own good, said the monk.
02:42You must stop being violent.
02:45Wukong pulled out his iron bar and lunged at the Tang monk.
02:49The monk recited the tight headband spell again.
02:56Wukong fell to the ground and rolled around in pain.
03:02It hurts!
03:03It hurts!
03:04He cried.
03:06Please stop!
03:07I won't try to hurt you again!
03:10The Tang monk stopped, and the monkey stood up.
03:15Now will you cook some rice?
03:17Asked the monk.
03:19I'll get a fire started, said Wukong.
03:22The monkey waited until the Tang monk had turned his back.
03:27Again, he raised the iron bar.
03:30But the Tang monk saw Wukong's shadow.
03:35Cried Wukong, once again falling to the ground.
03:39The Tang monk looked furious as he recited the spell.
03:43Wukong's head pounded.
03:45Please stop!
03:47Cried the monkey.
03:47The Tang monk stopped reciting the spell.
03:51Don't try to hit me again, said the monk.
03:54If you do, I'll recite the spell until your head really does explode.
03:58I'm sorry, master, said Wukong.
04:02I'll be good.
04:03The two traveled for a few more weeks.
04:08They arrived at a wide river.
04:13How will we cross this river?
04:14Asked the monk.
04:16It's too bad you're not a spirit, said Wukong.
04:20I can leap over this river, but I can't take you with me.
04:24Why not?
04:25Asked the Tang monk.
04:27You're a human, said the monkey.
04:28So you must make the journey all by yourself.
04:32I can only protect you.
04:34I can't carry you.
04:35What will we do then?
04:37Asked the monk.
04:38Before Wukong could answer, the water swelled and a dragon leaped from it.
04:43Look out, cried the monkey.
04:50He yanked the Tang monk off the horse as the dragon struck.
04:55With one bite, the dragon swallowed the horse and then slipped back underwater.
