In November 1979, pupils in England were able (watch) a new TV program called Monkey. Most of them were hearing this story for the first time. H, this story is not new to Chinese children. The Monkey King or Sun Wukong is the main character in the (tradition) Chinese book Journey to the West.
The Monkey King is not just any normal monkey. In fact, he sometimes does not even look l a monkey! This is because he can make 72 changes to his shape and size, (turn) himself into different animals and objects. But unless he can hide his tail, he cannot turn (he) into a man. To fight bad people, the Monkey King uses a magic stick. Sometimes he can make the stick s small that he can keep it in his ear. At other times, he is able to make it big and long.
The Monkey King has excited the children of China for many years. And as soon as the TV program came o more than 30 years ago, Western children became interested i reading this story because the clever Monkey King keeps (fight) to help the weak and never gives up.
