The Monkey

 Spring 1993
 Fairy Tales

A long, long time ago, there was a special stone in a fairy mountain.  One day, the stone exploded, and a monkey appeared.
   This was a wise monkey who could think and learn many things.  He wanted an eternal life.  Therefore, he wanted to learn the fairies' skills.  The monkey began to travel.  Finally, he found an angel.  The angel taught him many fairy skills.  The monkey could use 72 kinds of fairy skills, and could fly by riding a color cloud.
   After eight years, he came back and became the king of the monkeys, but it wasn't enough for him.  He hoped that he could become an employer of all the gods.  The Gods were very angry at the monkey's attitude.  They decided to punish the bad monkey.
   Finally, the monkey was caged, and locked up in the mountain.
