Tripitaka monkey pigs e and sandy were

continuing the westward journey in

search of the books of wisdom when they

came upon a wealthy Kingdom they were

horrified to discover that in the shadow

of the Royal Palace hundreds of

prisoners were being forced to work

endless hours in the hot Sun under the

merciless surveillance of the King's

advisor the wicked lured Fang

the prisoners are complaining that they

haven't had a rest all day many of them

are at the point of collapse my lord why

don't you tell me how the work is

proceeding I'm sorry to report we have

fallen many days behind schedule then

there will be no rest

and so the work carried on the broiling

Sun was at its zenith the prisoner

slaves had already been taxed far beyond

their endurance but Lord Fang cared more

for the Swift success of his building

program that he did for the suffering

men and under conditions like these

accidents were bound to happen

[Music]

[Music]

and a hapless card fell right in the

path of the for pilgrims to identify

yourself

we're pilgrims on a quest for the books

of wisdom oh yeah

the God seemed curious about the four

companions so our pilgrims and monks the

same thing pretty much yes then you

should know it's a crime to be a monk in

this land from now on you'll be slaves

with the rest of them not if my magic

staff has anything to say about it we

for the second time that day Lord fangs

guard was sent flying head-over-heels

and once more the work was disrupted it

is wrong to mistreat honest monks I

insist that you let them go yeah make us

yeah make us why don't jerk I'll make

you a deal I'll complete the monks work

but you must let them go

suni little squirrel like you those

delicate little monks hands of yours

couldn't lift that twig I'll show you

what I can do

[Music]

monkey had made no idle boast as the

gods and prisoners were soon to learn

a whole month's work done in the blink

of an eye

the monks knew someone possessing a

great powerful good had come into their

lives that day we are extremely grateful

to you why is it a crime to be a monk

here the king has three advisors their

Lord Fang Lord Lord Lord horn it is they

who convinced the King to make it a

crime to be a monk they're building

themselves a lavish temple he needed

many slaves to do the work and we are

those slaves there is truly much evil

here what's going on

star war the work has been done somehow

I doubt it there were the logs neatly

stacked atop the hill Oh monkey had made

good on his word as you can see their

task has been completed please let them

go let them go I see you're giving

orders now

suddenly out of nowhere the Kings entire

army appeared hundreds of soldiers on

every bridge and battle it sharpened

Spears at the ready ah even the cliff

edge where the logs were stacked was

lined with a contingent of fierce

soldiers surrender yourselves to us

immediately or I shall call upon these

soldiers to attack you your paltry

armies no match for me

monkey hold on huh I wish to be brought

before the Kings advisors so that I

might attempt to reason with them calmly

master be serious they won't listen that

decision is up to them but I must try

master I agree with monkey I see we make

our stand here

the Masters right besides he might be

able to talk them into giving us some

food I still think you should let me

take care of them you must learn that

not all of your problems can be solved

by force monkey

and so trip attackers request was

granted and the four pilgrims were

ushered into the dark and forbidding

halls of the palace where the three

advisors Lord Fang ler claw and Lord

horn were waiting each chamber led to

another even more secret sanctum

and the darkness and stifling lack of

air who more oppressive with every step

these advisors must be evil indeed if

they were obliged to hatch the plan so
