The Boat With No Bottom
After a long, long journey, the friends saw a golden mountain. "That is where the Buddha lives," said Tang Sanzang softly.
But first, there was one more river to cross. There was only a thin, wobbly log for a bridge.
Then a kind old boatman came gliding by. "Hop in!" he smiled. "I will take you across."
But the boat had no bottom! "We'll fall in!" cried Bajie. The boatman only laughed.
One by one they stepped in, and they did not fall! They floated, light as feathers, across the water.
On the other side, the Buddha was waiting with a gentle smile. "Welcome," he said. "You have come such a long way."
The Buddha gave them many scrolls of wise words. "Take these home, so everyone can learn to be kind."
Wukong looked at his friends: the monk, Bajie, Sandy and the white horse. "We did it," he said. "Together."
That night, the friends slept on the golden mountain. Tomorrow, they would start the long way home.
无底船
走了好远好远的路，大家终于看见了一座金色的大山。这时，唐僧轻轻地说：“那就是佛祖住的地方。”
可是，前面还有最后一条河。河上只有一根细细的、摇摇晃晃的独木桥。
这时，一位和蔼的老船夫划着船过来了。他笑着说：“上来吧！我送你们过河。”
可是这条船竟然没有底！八戒叫道：“我们会掉下去的！”老船夫只是哈哈地笑。
大家一个一个跨了进去，竟然没有掉下去！他们像羽毛一样轻轻地漂过了河。
到了对岸，佛祖正微笑着等他们。佛祖温和地说：“欢迎你们。你们走了这么远的路。”
佛祖送给他们好多好多写满智慧的经书。“把它们带回家，让大家都学会善良。”
孙悟空看着他的好朋友们：师父、八戒、沙僧，还有小白马。他说：“我们做到了，是一起做到的。”
那天晚上，大家睡在金色的山上。明天，他们就要踏上回家的路了。
