the Wiseman Tripitaka and his companions

continued on their long trek from China

to India in search of the ancient books

of wisdom their travels had brought them

to the peaceful land of wuji they were

approaching the royal temple which stood

not far from the palace of the Keeney

the temple beckoned to them offering a

place of welcome rest little do they

know that treachery was afoot shall we

enter oh yes master the sweet soothing

incense that filled the air promised a

warm reception and a peaceful night

welcomed the weary pilgrims quietly

rejoiced that night while the royal

temple slumbered in the silvery

moonlight monkey pixie and sandy was

starring happily away they had not seen

of your beds in a long while

[Music]

Chiba taka remained a way to study but

the long journey had tired him out as

well and he fell fast asleep he began to

dream and in his dream he heard a

ghostly voice calling his name and

beckoning him outside to talk the lure

of the voice was irresistible that he

followed it into the temple courtyard

there he saw the king of Wu Jie will

great a noble monk I bear a terrible

tale

you must unburden yourself of your

sorrow by opening your heart to me o

king I tremble at the memory of a great

crime that was committed only three

years ago tell me of this crime at that

time the kingdom was plagued with

drought with no rain starvation

threatened but a sorcerer appeared who

said he could make the rains come he

bade me come with him to the highest

Battlement of the palace and there he

stood for days on end not sleeping not

eating and crying out mystical

incantations straight into the dry mouth

of the heavens themselves I confess that

as the days passed by thumbscrew

clouds began to gather and the rain fell

on the parched earth below from that day

on the sorcerer became my trusted

advisor and he shared in my kingdom like

a brother

until one day as we walked in the garden

he invited me to look at my own

reflection in a well I promise you the

well will reveal untold secrets if you

are only to gaze into its mouth to

behold the greatest of wonders do I dare

it is an opportunity you mustn't dare to

miss I must confess I see nothing

unusual gaze into it again let the

waters reveal their truth the water

seems troubled but nothing more you must

keep on looking alright I'll try again

[Music]

you shall live in the deputies with me

[Music]

then the sorcerer who had been my

closest confidant and friend and sealed

the mouth of the well with the great

stone inside I lost consciousness

trapped in a magical sleep at the bottom

of the well yet while I slept I seemed

to dream a vision of the sorcerer above

me dancing in a frenzy in no time at all

this treacherous intentions were

revealed he had transformed himself into

my image to take my place on the throne

of Yugi and now I am begging you a great

and wise monk to make this crime known

to the world but how can this be done

when the false King bears your image I

shall never be believed I shall give you

a jade tablet tomorrow my son will pass

the temple on his way to the hunt if he

sees this he will understand all

[Music]

monkey Pig Z Sandee what is it what's

troubling you master a great crime has

been revealed to me in a dream I dreamt

I was given this tablet by the king of

Wu Jie and when I awoke there it was I

must give it to his son he will pass by

here tomorrow

monkey promised to make sure that the

king's son stopped at the temple the

next day as the prince and his hunting

party wrote down after the hills near

the temple monkey was ready for them he

knew he had to find a way to lure the

Prince to the temple gate so he turned

himself into a great stag whom he knew

the prince would be sure to chase

[Music]

but monkey was not so easily caught he

bounded away in the direction of the

temple monkeys plan had worked perfectly

though really hunters were eager to stop

at the temple and rest

we shall halt here and refresh ourselves

meanwhile inside the temple monkey and

Tripitaka prepared themselves for the

princes arrival no monkey put on yet

another disguise the prince and his

entourage made their way boldly past the

humble wait amongst greetings greetings
