The Journey to the West-The Story of the Monkey King

Sorry! The story is super late but I better get it over and done with!
Creation of the Monkey
Sun Wu Kong was a monkey that burst out of some kind of rainbow rock in Flower Fruit Mountain, where all the monkeys lived. He was strong, brave and smart so he soon become the king of all monkeys(lol).
One day, he wanted to go to heaven but he couldn't. He was under stress until the eldery monkey advised him to learn great powers of a great spirits. The monkeys all helped to build him a raft and he set out into the wide sea.
After years of hard training, Sun Wu Kong could pluck a hair from his body and turn it into a clone, he could turn into seventy-two different creatures and in one somersault he could go eighteen thousand miles(or is it kilometres?). He showed his new skills off to the monkeys. But there was one problem, all the weapons they had he could break them in just five seconds because of his strength. He must now search for more weapons.

The Golden Rod
He dived under the sea where the Dragon King lived. He was presented with many weapons though they were all to light so him. He almost failed until he saw a Golden Rod outside. It was red, with golden edges, an item of beauty. This rod was used to support the Jade Emporer's Palace. Sun Wu Kong merely made it shrink and grow, and grasped it in his hands. The weight was perfect.
The Dragon King and his female assistants came and saw him. They protested but they stopped. They asked for him to show them how he did it so he did. He could fit the Golden Rod behind his ear if he made it small enough. Simple.
But they knew if they did not get the rod back, they would be in trouble. The girl took the rod and sat on it, yes sat on it. Sun Wu Kong noticed it go missing and looked for it. A sudden brainwave hit. Yes, make it grow.
The rod grew. The girl ended up sitting on top of it, balancing on top, almost going to fall off. One small breath upon the rod, it fell. The Monkey grabbed it and swam away, with the Golden Rod behind his ear
Conflict
War was on when the Jade Emperor heard. The three-eyed guy with his dog and his best friend a young boy as strong as Sun Wu Kong. He was sent to work for a random monk and was placed inside a giant coludron on boiling temperiture(bad spelling, I'm only eleven). He escaped of course and this was how he claimed his power of burning eyes.
The army came back. He was captured and trapped under a rock for around a century. A monk came along with a donkey and realeased him. He was given new clothes and sent off for a Journey to the West. He defeated a tiger and used its skin for a skirt(more lol) but got into trouble(as usual) so he received a special crown, when he made trouble, he would suffer pain.
On the journey, they picked up a guy that turned into a pig(poor thing) and some random dude from the sea. Through years of fighting and conflict, they supported each other.
This story ends soon, after an arguement with the rabbit from the moon pretending to be a princess(OMGEE), they finally reached the west. Let the wisdom and knowledge flow through you

-Key of Danger
I wrote this essay/retelling myself. I'm Chinese. The story was passed through the generations. I first watched the DvDs and read the picture books(I need help with Chinese). There are still chunks missing! Search for them!
