Reading Notes: Sun Wu Kung: Handsome King of the Apes

Igoo the Stone Ape: Source

Reading Notes: 

• Far East there is an Island called "The Mountain of Flowers and Fruits"
• There was a rock on the very top that had magical powers to create
• Out of this rock hatched a stone ape
• This stone ape slowly grew and became so strong that even the God of the Heavens feared his eyesight
• The God sent two others out to see what the rays of light were and they said there wasn't anything to fear as it was just an Ape
• On a hot summer day the apes on the island went to cool off
• They found a waterfall and said whoever could pass would be the king
• The stone ape got excited and passed through
• He passed through and found a bridge that was covered by the waterfall, as the waterfall acted as a curtain from the outside world
• He told the other apes and they all passed through after asking him to take them
• He appointed other apes and all was well for some hundred years.

Think that adding more to this story would make it better. I think that being more descriptive and giving more dialogue would make it better. May be cool to try and do it in haiku format.
