Chapter 3: The Magic Staff
第3章:获得如意金箍棒
Sun Wukong wanted to find some good weapons for his monkeys. He came to the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and asked the Dragon King for weapons. The Dragon King took out many weapons, but Sun Wukong felt they were all too light.
孙悟空想为自己的猴子们找一些好兵器。他来到东海龙宫,向龙王索要兵器。龙王拿出许多兵器,但孙悟空都觉得太轻了。
Finally, the Dragon King led Sun Wukong to the deep sea, where there was a huge iron pillar weighing 13,500 pounds. This iron pillar was left from ancient times and was called the Golden-Hooped Rod. Sun Wukong tried to pick it up and found that the rod could actually change size according to his will!
最后,龙王带领孙悟空来到深海,那里有一根巨大的铁柱,重达一万三千五百斤。这根铁柱是上古时期留下的,叫做如意金箍棒。孙悟空试着拿起它,发现铁柱竟然可以根据他的心意变大变小!
Sun Wukong was extremely excited. He shrunk the rod to the size of an embroidery needle and hid it in his ear for storage. He said goodbye to the Dragon King and returned to Flower-Fruit Mountain. With this divine weapon, Sun Wukong became even more powerful and became a true hero.
孙悟空高兴极了,他把金箍棒缩小成绣花针大小,放进耳朵里收藏。他告别了龙王,回到了花果山。有了这根神兵利器,孙悟空变得更加强大,成为了真正的英雄。
