东dōng海边hǎi biān有yǒu座zuò花huā果guǒ山shān,山顶shān dǐng有yǒu一yí块kuài仙xiān石shí,吸收xī shōu了le几jǐ千qiān年nián的de日rì月yuè精华jīng huá。

By the Eastern Sea stands Flower-Fruit Mountain, crowned by an immortal stone steeped in thousands of years of sun and moon.

一yì天tiān仙xiān石shí裂liè开kāi,蹦bèng出chū一yì只zhī石shí猴hóu。石shí猴hóu的de眼yǎn射shè出chū两liǎng道dào金jīn光guāng,一直yì zhí冲chōng到dào天tiān宫gōng。

One day the stone split and out leapt a stone monkey; golden light from his eyes shot straight to Heaven.

石shí猴hóu在zài山shān里lǐ和hé群qún猴hóu玩耍wán shuǎ。山shān上shàng有yǒu条tiáo瀑布pù bù,猴hóu子zǐ们men说shuō:谁shéi敢gǎn钻zuān进jìn瀑布pù bù又yòu出来chū lái,就jiù拜bài谁shéi为wéi王wáng。

At a waterfall the monkeys dared: whoever leaps in and back shall be our king.

石shí猴hóu一yí跃yuè跳tiào进去jìn qù,发现fā xiàn里面lǐ miàn有yǒu个gè水shuǐ帘lián洞dòng,锅guō碗wǎn俱全jù quán。他tā跳tiào出来chū lái说shuō:里面lǐ miàn有yǒu家jiā了le!群qún猴hóu拜bài他tā为wéi王wáng,称chēng美měi猴hóu王wáng。

The stone monkey leapt, and found Water Curtain Cave, furnished for living. The monkeys hailed him: the Handsome Monkey King.
