Tales of the Monkey King
The story of Monkey begins with a large stone. Back when the earth was created, this stone fell from the heavens, landing in the Middle Kingdom in the land of Ngao Lai. For eons, the stone rested quietly on the peak of the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. For eons, the sunlight engendered life in the stone until, one day, the stone cracked like an egg. Out bounded a monkey! Born full-grown, he was an average-looking creature, curious and active, like all monkeys, but not, on first sight, anything really special. He gave himself the name “Stone Monkey.” Feeling hungry and a little lonely, he set out to explore and came upon a large troop of monkeys who called themselves the Monkey Tribe of the Mountain of
Flowers and Fruits.
