Annoys everyone until Jade
Emperor gives him a job: as
Keeper of the stables, a very lowly
post! Then asks him to care for the Peach
Garden. Builds a big office.
Steals peaches of immortality,
Elixir of Life, drinks wine of heaven !!!
No one believes Monkey’s claims,
despite his magic!
P 41 “a counterfeit sage”.
Discovering he has been tricked, returns to his Monkey Kingdom,
eventually the Heavenly army defeat him. Jade Emperor tried to
Execute him in the furnace where the Elixir of Life is perfected.
Fails: eventually Buddha tricks him and he becomes incarcerated in
the Mount of Five Fingers for years and years!!!!!!
