00:00Journey to the West, Chapter 62, The Goldfish in the Basket

00:05Wukong landed on Mount Potolaca.

00:16A young man was meditating in the garden.

00:19Where's Guan Yin? asked the monkey.

00:21She's making a basket, said the man.

00:25He glanced up at the monkey.

00:27It's good to see you again, Wukong.

00:30Wukong was puzzled.

00:31How do you know my name?

00:33Don't you recognize me? said the man.

00:38Wukong stared for a moment and then gasped.

00:42You're Red Boy!

00:43You look like a kind spirit now.

00:46Yes, said Red Boy.

00:48I'm not an evil demon anymore.

00:50And I have you to thank for that.

00:53You brought Guan Yin to me.

00:55She has taught me all about Buddhism, and now I'm very happy.

00:59You're welcome, said Wukong.

01:02You and I have a lot in common.

01:04We were both evil, causing all sorts of problems.

01:08Now we're both Buddhists.

01:11Guan Yin came over holding a basket.

01:14Hello, Wukong, said the Bodhisattva.

01:17I knew you would come here today.

01:19I've been working on this basket all morning.

01:22A look of confusion spread across the monkey's face.

01:27That's a nice basket, Bodhisattva.

01:31But what is it for?

01:33This basket has magical powers, said Guan Yin.

01:38I will catch the demon with it.

01:40Let's go.

01:41Wukong returned to the river with Guan Yin.

01:52The Bodhisattva used a rope to lower the basket into the river.

01:57She recited a spell and then waited.

02:01After a moment, she pulled the basket out of the water.

02:04Wukong looked in the basket.

02:10A small goldfish was flopping around in it.

02:15The monkey laughed.

02:17I guess you need to try again, Bodhisattva.

02:20That's not the demon.

02:21This is my goldfish, said Guan Yin.

02:26It usually lives in my lotus pond.

02:29The pond is near my garden, where I teach my students.

02:34After years of listening to my lessons, the fish became a spirit.

02:39It escaped to Earth a few days ago.

02:42I had been wondering where it was.

02:44A few days ago, repeated Wukong.

02:47That means it's been on Earth for a few years.

02:52Correct, said Guan Yin.

02:54The Tang monk is safe now.

02:56You may go free him and continue your journey to the western paradise.

03:02Guan Yin flew off, and Wukong swam down to the palace.

03:08Now that the goldfish was gone, so was its magic.

03:12The monkey smashed the rocks with his iron bar and went inside.

03:17Master, I'm here!

03:19He cried.

03:21He got the monk out of the box and carried him out of the river.

03:26By now, all the villagers had heard that Wukong had saved Chen's son.

03:31When the travelers returned, the villagers cheered.

03:35Please stay in our village, said a man.

03:47Yes, said an old woman.

03:50There's no rush to leave.

03:53Stay for as long as you like.

03:56Thank you, said the Tang monk.

03:58But we can stay only one more night to rest.

04:01In the morning we must leave.

04:03We still have far to travel.

04:07The villagers held a feast for the travelers that evening.

04:11By the time everyone went to sleep, it was late.

04:14The next morning the travelers woke to the sound of chopping.

04:20What's going on?

04:21Asked the Tang monk.

04:24They went to the river and found a very busy scene.

04:26Several men were chopping down trees.

04:31Other people carried tools.

04:33We're building a boat for you, said a smiling man.

04:38Thank you, said the monk.

04:40He and his companions sat down by the water to wait.

04:44Suddenly there was a rumble and waves splashed onto the shore.

04:48Everyone stared in fear as a large creature rose from the waves.
