The Little White Dragon
Tang Sanzang and Wukong came to a deep, clear river. The horse was thirsty and bent down to drink.
SPLASH! A little white dragon jumped out of the water! Gulp! The horse was gone!
The little dragon dived back under the water and hid. "Come out!" called Wukong.
Wukong flew up and asked Guanyin for help. She floated down on her lotus, kind and calm.
The little dragon came out, very shy. "I was so hungry," he said. "I'm sorry."
And the old horse? A kind turtle had carried him safely home. He was happily eating grass.
"Will you carry Tang Sanzang to the west?" asked Guanyin. "Yes!" said the little dragon.
Sparkle, sparkle! The dragon turned into a beautiful white horse. Tang Sanzang stroked his soft mane.
That night, the white horse slept by the fire. "Goodnight, little dragon," whispered Wukong.
小白龙
唐僧和孙悟空来到一条又深又清的河边。马儿渴了，低下头去喝水。
哗啦一声，河里跳出一条小白龙！马儿一下子不见了！
小白龙游回水里，躲起来了。孙悟空喊：“快出来！”
孙悟空飞上天，去请观音菩萨帮忙。观音菩萨坐着莲花，轻轻地飘了下来。
小白龙害羞地游了出来，小声说：“我太饿了……对不起。”
那匹老马呢？一只好心的乌龟把它平平安安地送回家了。它正在开心地吃草呢。
观音菩萨问：“你愿意驮着唐僧去西天吗？”小白龙说：“我愿意！”
一闪一闪！小白龙变成了一匹漂亮的白马。唐僧轻轻地摸了摸它软软的鬃毛。
那天晚上，白马在火堆旁边睡着了。孙悟空小声说：“晚安，小白龙。”
