Time  passed,  and  it  was  soon  spring.  The  air  grew  warm,  flowers  bloomed,  and  birds swooped from tree to tree.

The  road  Wukong  and  the  others  were  traveling began to go up a mountain.

Wukong  stopped  the  group.  “Bajie,  go  up  the  road  and  search  the  mountain.  There  might be a demon up there, and I don’t want Master to get hurt.”

“Ugh,”  moaned  the  pig.  “You  make  me  do  all  the  hard  work.”  Dragging  his  feet,  he  headed up the mountain road.

Wukong  turned  to  the  Tang  Monk  and  Wujing.  “I’m  going  to  follow  the  pig.  I  want  to  make  sure  he  really  searches  the  mountain.”

The  monkey  turned  invisible  and  followed Bajie up the road.

The pig walked for a few minutes. When he  was  sure  his  companions  wouldn’t  hear  him, he turned around.

“You  dummies!”  shouted  Bajie.  “You  make  me  do  all  the  hard  work!  Well,  guess  what? I’m not going to search this mountain.  I’m  going  to  take  a  nap  instead.  And  when  I  come  back,  I’ll  lie  and  say  I  searched  the  mountain!”

Bajie  found  a  big  log.  He  lay  down  behind it and fell fast asleep.

“This  pig  is  so  lazy,”  thought  Wukong.  “I’ll teach him a lesson.”

The  monkey  turned  himself  into  a  woodpecker  and  pecked  the  log.  Tap,  tap,  tap! Tap, tap, tap!

Bajie rolled over and mumbled.

Wukong pecked again. Tap, tap, tap! Tap, tap, tap!

The  pig  sat  up.  “Quit  tapping,  you  annoying  woodpecker!  I’m  trying  to  sleep!”  He fell asleep again.

Wukong landed on Bajie’s head. Tap, tap, tap! Tap, tap, tap!

“Ouch!” cried the pig, jumping to his feet.

Wukong flew away.

Bajie  rubbed  his  head.  “I  can’t  even  take  a  nap!”  He  sighed.  “I  guess  I’ll  go  back  down.”

When  Bajie  found  his  companions,  he  lied.  “I  searched  the  entire  mountain,”  he  said. “It’s safe.”

“Did  you  see  any  demons  or  monsters?”  asked Wukong.

Bajie shook his head.

“How  about  woodpeckers?”  asked  the  monkey. “Did you see any of them?”

The pig looked surprised. “What . . . how did you . . . ?”

“That  was  me,  Bajie!”  shouted  Wukong.  “You  took  a  nap!  You  didn’t  search  the  mountain at all!”

Bajie hung his head.

“You  should  be  ashamed  of  yourself,  Bajie,” said Wujing.

The Tang Monk frowned. “Please go back and search the mountain, Bajie.”

The pig headed back up the road. He had walked for a while when he saw a fox.

“I know that’s you, Wukong!” he shouted. He swung his rake. The fox trotted away.

A robin flew past Bajie’s head. “Get away from me, Wukong!” yelled the pig.As  he  waved  the  rake  at  the  bird,  Bajie tripped and fell.

“Wukong!”  shouted  the  pig.  “I  know  you’re  here.  You’re  invisible,  and  you  just  tripped me.”

He  got  back  up  and  stood  still  for  a  moment.  When  he  didn’t  see  or  hear  Wukong,  he  continued  walking.  Every  time  Bajie  saw  an  animal,  he  waved  his  rake  and  yelled.

The  road  became  very  steep.  The  pig  soon came to a cave. In front of the cave was a demon.

Bajie held out his rake. “Tell me who you are!” he demanded.

“My name is Golden Horn,” said the demon. “Who are you?”

“I  am  Zhu  Bajie,”  said  the  pig.  “I’m  traveling  to  the  Western  Paradise  with the Tang Monk.”
