土地說：「大力王即牛魔王也。」行者道：「這山本是牛魔王放的火，假名火焰山？」土地道：「不是，不是。The Land God said, "The Great Power King is none other than Niu Mowang." Xingzhe said, "So this mountain's fire was originally set by Niu Mowang, and it merely goes by the false name of the Flaming Mountains?" The Land God said, "No, no.大聖若肯赦小神之罪，方敢直言。」行者道：「你有何罪？If the Great Sage is willing to pardon this lowly spirit's crime, only then would I dare speak plainly." Xingzhe said, "What crime have you committed?直說無妨。」土地道：「這火原是大聖放的。」行者怒道：「我在那裡？Speak plainly, it's of no harm." The Land God said, "This fire was originally set by the Great Sage himself." Xingzhe said angrily, "When was I ever here?你這等亂談。You're talking such nonsense.我可是放火之輩？」土地道：「是你也認不得我了。Am I the sort who goes about setting fires?" The Land God said, "It's just that you no longer recognize me.此間原無這座山。Originally there was no mountain here at all.因大聖五百年前大鬧天宮時，被顯聖擒了，壓赴老君，將大聖安於八卦爐內。It was because, five hundred years ago, when the Great Sage caused great havoc in Heaven, you were captured by the Illustrious Sage, escorted before Laojun, and placed inside his Eight Trigrams Furnace.煅煉之後開鼎，被你蹬倒丹爐，落了幾個磚來，內有餘火，到此處化為火焰山。After the smelting, when the cauldron was opened, you kicked the elixir furnace over, and several bricks fell down; within them lingered leftover fire, which came to this place and turned into the Flaming Mountains.我本是兜率宮守爐的道人，當被老君怪我失守，降下此間，就做了火焰山土地也。」豬八戒聞言，恨道：「怪道你這等打扮，原來是道士變的土地。」I was originally the Taoist priest who tended the furnace in the Doushuai Palace; because Laojun blamed me for failing in my duty, I was banished down here, and so became the Land God of the Flaming Mountains." When Zhu Bajie heard this, he said resentfully, "No wonder you're dressed like that — so you're a Taoist priest turned Land God."

行者半信不信道：「你且說，早尋大力王何故？』土地道：「大力王乃羅剎女丈夫。Half believing and half doubting, Xingzhe said, "Well then, tell me — why must I first seek out the Great Power King?"

Xingzhe said, "Where is Mount Jilei located?到彼有多少程途？」土地道：「在正南方。How far is the journey from here to there?" The Land God said, "It lies due south.此間到彼，有三千餘里。」From here to there is over three thousand li."

大圣看够多时，步下尖峰，入深山，找寻路径。正自没个消息，忽见松阴下有一女子，手折了一枝香兰，嬝嬝娜娜而来。大圣闪在怪石之傍，定睛观看，那女子怎生模样：

那女子漸漸走近石邊，大聖躬身施禮，緩緩而言曰：「女菩薩何往？」那女子未曾觀看，聽得叫問，卻自擡頭。As the woman gradually drew near the rock, the Great Sage bowed and made his greeting, saying slowly, "Where is the lady bodhisattva headed?" The woman had not yet noticed him, but hearing herself addressed, she raised her head.忽見大聖的相貌醜陋，老大心驚，欲退難退，欲行難行，只得戰兢兢，勉強答道：「你是何方來者？The moment she saw the Great Sage's ugly face, she was greatly startled; wishing to retreat she could not retreat, wishing to walk on she could not walk on, and could only, trembling, force herself to answer, "Where do you come from?敢在此間問誰？」大聖沉思道：「我若說出取經求扇之事，恐這廝與牛王有親。How dare you question someone here?" The Great Sage thought to himself, "If I speak of fetching scriptures and seeking the fan, I fear this woman may be related to the Bull King.且只以假親托意，來請魔王之言而答方可。」那女子見他不語，變了顏色，怒聲喝道：「你是何人，敢來問我？」大聖躬身陪笑道：「我是翠雲山來的，初到貴處，不知路徑。I had best answer only by pretending kinship, saying I have come to invite the Demon King." Seeing him say nothing, the woman changed countenance and shouted angrily, "Who are you, that you dare question me?" The Great Sage bowed with a smile and said, "I have come from Mount Cuiyun; having just arrived in these parts, I do not know the way.敢問菩薩，此間可是積雷山？」那女子道：「正是。」大聖道：「有個摩雲洞，坐落何處？」那女子道：「你尋那洞做甚？」大聖道：「我是翠雲山芭蕉洞鐵扇公主央來請牛魔王的。」May I ask, bodhisattva, is this Mount Jilei?" The woman said, "It is indeed." The Great Sage said, "There is a Moyun Cave — where is it located?" The woman said, "What do you want with that cave?" The Great Sage said, "I have been sent by Princess Iron Fan of Bajiao Cave on Mount Cuiyun to invite Niu Mowang."

那女子渐渐走近石边，大圣躬身施礼，缓缓而言曰：「女菩萨何往？」那女子未曾观看，听得叫问，却自抬头。忽见大圣的相貌丑陋，老大心惊，欲退难退，欲行难行，只得战兢兢，勉强答道：「你是何方来者？敢在此间问谁？」大圣沉思道：「我若说出取经求扇之事，恐这厮与牛王有亲。且只以假亲托意，来请魔王之言而答方可。」那女子见他不语，变了颜色，怒声喝道：「你是何人，敢来问我？」大圣躬身陪笑道：「我是翠云山来的，初到贵处，不知路径。敢问菩萨，此间可是积雷山？」那女子道：「正是。」大圣道：「有个摩云洞，坐落何处？」那女子道：「你寻那洞做甚？」大圣道：「我是翠云山芭蕉洞铁扇公主央来请牛魔王的。」

那女子一聽鐵扇公主請牛魔王之言，心中大怒，徹耳根子通紅，潑口罵道：「這賤婢，著實無知。The instant the woman heard that Princess Iron Fan had sent for Niu Mowang, she flew into a rage, red clear to the roots of her ears, and cursed foully, "That wretched hussy — she is truly shameless.牛王自到我家，未及二載，也不知送了他多少珠翠金銀、綾羅緞疋，年供柴，月供米，自自在在受用，還不識羞，又來請他怎的？」大聖聞言，情知是玉面公主，故意掣出金箍棒，大喝一聲道：「你這潑賤，將家私買住牛王，誠然是陪錢嫁漢，你倒不羞，卻敢罵誰？」那女子見了，諕得魄散魂飛，沒好步，亂��金蓮，戰兢兢回頭便走。Since the Bull King came to my house, in less than two years I don't know how many pearls, jade, gold, silver, silks and satins I have given him — supplying him firewood by the year and rice by the month, letting him enjoy himself in perfect comfort — and still she has no shame, coming again to invite him? What for?" Hearing this, the Great Sage knew at once that this was Princess Yumian, and deliberately drew out his golden-hooped rod, shouting fiercely, "You shameless wretch, buying and keeping the Bull King with your family fortune — you're truly one who paid money to get herself a husband, and instead of feeling ashamed you dare curse someone else?" Seeing this, the woman was so frightened her soul scattered and her wits flew away; stumbling badly, her tiny bound feet flailing in confusion, she turned and fled, trembling all the while.這大聖吆吆喝喝，隨後相跟。The Great Sage, shouting and hollering, followed close behind her.原來穿過松陰，就是摩雲洞口。It turned out that just past the shade of the pines lay the entrance to Moyun Cave.女子跑進去，撲的把門關了。The woman ran inside and slammed the door shut with a bang.大聖卻收了金箍棒，停步看時，好所在：The Great Sage then put away his golden-hooped rod, stopped, and looked around — what a fine place:

那女子一听铁扇公主请牛魔王之言，心中大怒，彻耳根子通红，泼口骂道：「这贱婢，著实无知。牛王自到我家，未及二载，也不知送了他多少珠翠金银、绫罗缎疋，年供柴，月供米，自自在在受用，还不识羞，又来请他怎的？」大圣闻言，情知是玉面公主，故意掣出金箍棒，大喝一声道：「你这泼贱，将家私买住牛王，诚然是陪钱嫁汉，你倒不羞，却敢骂谁？」那女子见了，諕得魄散魂飞，没好步，乱𤜱金莲，战兢兢回头便走。这大圣吆吆喝喝，随后相跟。原来穿过松阴，就是摩云洞口。女子跑进去，扑的把门关了。大圣却收了金箍棒，停步看时，好所在：

且不言行者這裡觀看景致。For now, let us leave aside Xingzhe here admiring the scenery.卻說那女子跑得粉汗淋淋，諕得蘭心吸吸，徑入書房裡面。Let us instead tell of the woman, who ran until her powdered face streamed with sweat, her heart pounding with fright, straight into the study.原來牛魔王正在那裡靜玩丹書。It happened that Niu Mowang was in there quietly enjoying a book on alchemy.這女子沒好氣倒在懷裡，抓耳撓腮，放聲大哭。The woman, seething with anger, collapsed into his arms, scratching at her ears and cheeks in distress, and burst into loud sobbing.牛王滿面陪笑道：「美人，休得煩惱。The Bull King, his whole face wreathed in an ingratiating smile, said, "My beauty, don't be troubled.有甚話說？」那女子跳天索地，口中罵道：「潑魔害殺我也！」牛王笑道：「你為甚事罵我？」女子道：「我因父母無依，招你護身養命。What is it you wish to say?" The woman stamped about wildly, cursing, "You wretched demon, you've as good as killed me!" The Bull King laughed and said, "Why are you cursing me?" The woman said, "Because my parents left me with no one to rely on, I took you in to protect and support me.江湖中說你是條好漢，你原來是個懼內的庸夫。」牛王聞說，將女子抱住道：「美人，我有那些不是處？Everyone in the world says you're a fine, bold fellow, but it turns out you're just a mediocre man who's afraid of his wife." When the Bull King heard this, he took the woman in his arms and said, "My beauty, in what way have I wronged you?你且慢慢說來，我與你陪禮。」女子道：「適才我在洞外閑步花陰，折蘭採蕙，忽有一個毛臉雷公嘴的和尚，猛地前來施禮，把我嚇了個呆掙。Tell me slowly, and I shall apologize to you." The woman said, "Just now, as I was strolling idly among the flowers outside the cave, picking orchids, suddenly a hairy-faced monk with a mouth like the Thunder God's came abruptly forward and made a bow to me, giving me such a fright that I froze stiff.及定性問是何人，他說是鐵扇公主央他來請牛魔王的。When I steadied myself and asked who he was, he said he had been sent by Princess Iron Fan to invite Niu Mowang.被我說了兩句，他倒罵了我一場，將一根棍子趕著我打。After I said a few words to him, he instead cursed me roundly and chased after me with a cudgel, trying to beat me.若不是走得快些，幾乎被他打死。Had I not run fast enough, I would almost have been beaten to death by him.這不是招你為禍？Isn't this disaster brought upon me because of you?害殺我也。」牛王聞言，卻與他整容陪禮，溫存良久，女子方才息氣。You've as good as killed me." Hearing this, the Bull King composed himself and apologized to her, comforting her tenderly for a long while, until at last the woman's anger subsided.魔王卻發狠道：「美人在上，不敢相瞞。The Demon King then said fiercely, "My beauty, I dare not hide anything from you.那芭蕉洞雖是僻靜，卻清幽自在。That Bajiao Cave, though remote and secluded, is a tranquil and carefree place.我山妻自幼修持，也是個得道的女仙，卻是家門嚴謹，內無一尺之童，焉得有雷公嘴的男子央來？My wife there has cultivated herself since childhood and is herself an immortal who has attained the Way; her household is strictly run, without so much as a young boy inside it — how then could there be some Thunder-God-mouthed man sent from there?這想是那裡來的妖怪，或者假綽名聲，至此訪我。This must be some demon come from elsewhere, perhaps borrowing that name falsely to come here and seek me out.等我出去看看。」Let me go out and have a look."

好魔王，拽开步，出了书房，上大厅取了披挂，结束了。拿了一条混铁棍，出门高叫道：「是谁人在我这里无状？」行者在傍，见他那模样，与五百年前又大不同。只见：

這大聖整衣上前，深深的唱個大喏道：「長兄，還認得小弟麼？」牛王答禮道：「你是齊天大聖孫悟空麼？」大聖道：「正是，正是。The Great Sage straightened his clothes, stepped forward, and made a deep bow of greeting, saying, "Elder brother, do you still recognize your little brother?" The Bull King returned the courtesy and said, "Are you the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong?" The Great Sage said, "Indeed I am, indeed I am.一向久別未拜。It has been a long time since we parted, and I have not paid you a visit.適才到此問一女子，方得見兄。I only just now arrived here and asked a woman the way, and so managed to see you, elder brother.丰采果勝常，可賀也。」牛王喝道：「且休巧舌。Your bearing is truly finer than ever — congratulations are in order." The Bull King snapped, "Enough of your glib tongue.我聞你鬧了天宮，被佛祖降壓在五行山下，近解脫天災，保護唐僧西天見佛求經，怎麼在號山枯松澗火雲洞把我小兒牛聖嬰害了？I have heard that after you wreaked havoc in Heaven, you were subdued by the Buddha and pinned beneath Five Elements Mountain, and that recently, freed from that heavenly punishment, you have been escorting Tang Seng west to see the Buddha and seek the scriptures — so how is it that at Withered Pine Ravine's Fiery Cloud Cave on Mount Hao you harmed my son, Niu Shengying?正在這裡惱你，你卻怎麼又來尋我？」大聖作禮道：「長兄勿得誤怪小弟。I have been angry at you over this very matter — how is it you dare come seeking me now?" The Great Sage bowed and said, "Elder brother, do not wrongly blame your little brother.當時令郎捉住吾師，要食其肉，小弟近他不得，幸觀音菩薩欲救我師，勸他歸正。At that time your son had captured my master and meant to eat his flesh; I could not get near him, but fortunately Bodhisattva Guanyin, wishing to save my master, persuaded him to return to the right path.現今做了善財童子，比兄長還高，享極樂之門堂，受逍遙之永壽，有何不可，返怪我耶？」牛王罵道：「這個乖嘴的猢猻！He is now the Boy of Great Wisdom, ranking even higher than you, elder brother, enjoying the halls of ultimate bliss and receiving carefree, eternal life — what could possibly be wrong with that, that you should instead blame me?" The Bull King cursed, "You glib-tongued macaque!害子之情，被你說過；As for the matter of harming my son, you have talked your way past it;你才欺我愛妾，打上我門何也？」大聖笑道：「我因拜謁長兄不見，向那女子拜問，不知就是二嫂嫂。but just now you bullied my beloved concubine and came pounding on my door — what do you have to say to that?" The Great Sage said with a smile, "I only asked that woman for directions because I could not find you, elder brother, to pay my respects to you — I did not know she was my second sister-in-law.因他罵了我幾句，是小弟一時粗鹵，驚了嫂嫂。Because she cursed me a few times, your little brother acted rashly for a moment and startled sister-in-law.望長兄寬恕寬恕。」牛王道：「既如此說，我看故舊之情，饒你去罷。」I beg elder brother's forgiveness." The Bull King said, "Since that's how it was, for the sake of our old friendship I will let it pass."

这大圣整衣上前，深深的唱个大喏道：「长兄，还认得小弟么？」牛王答礼道：「你是齐天大圣孙悟空么？」大圣道：「正是，正是。一向久别未拜。适才到此问一女子，方得见兄。丰采果胜常，可贺也。」牛王喝道：「且休巧舌。我闻你闹了天宫，被佛祖降压在五行山下，近解脱天灾，保护唐僧西天见佛求经，怎么在号山枯松涧火云洞把我小儿牛圣婴害了？正在这里恼你，你却怎么又来寻我？」大圣作礼道：「长兄勿得误怪小弟。当时令郎捉住吾师，要食其肉，小弟近他不得，幸观音菩萨欲救我师，劝他归正。现今做了善财童子，比兄长还高，享极乐之门堂，受逍遥之永寿，有何不可，返怪我耶？」牛王骂道：「这个乖嘴的猢狲！害子之情，被你说过；你才欺我爱妾，打上我门何也？」大圣笑道：「我因拜谒长兄不见，向那女子拜问，不知就是二嫂嫂。因他骂了我几句，是小弟一时粗卤，惊了嫂嫂。望长兄宽恕宽恕。」牛王道：「既如此说，我看故旧之情，饶你去罢。」

大聖道：「既蒙寬恩，感謝不盡。The Great Sage said, "Since you have shown me such generous mercy, I am endlessly grateful.但尚有一事奉瀆，萬望周濟周濟。」牛王罵道：「這猢猻不識起倒，饒了你，倒還不走，反來纏我。But there is still one matter I must trouble you with — I beg you most earnestly to help me out." The Bull King cursed, "This macaque doesn't know when to quit — I let you off, and instead of leaving, you come pestering me instead.甚麼周濟周濟？」大聖道：「實不瞞長兄，小弟因保唐僧西進，路阻火焰山，不能前進。What do you mean, 'help you out'?" The Great Sage said, "To be honest with you, elder brother, your little brother, in escorting Tang Seng westward, has been blocked by the Flaming Mountains and cannot proceed.詢問土人，知尊嫂羅剎女有一柄芭蕉扇，欲求一用。Inquiring among the local people, I learned that your honored wife, the Rakshasi, has a plantain-leaf fan, and I wish to borrow its use.昨到舊府奉拜嫂嫂，嫂嫂堅執不借。Yesterday I went to your old home to pay my respects to sister-in-law, but she firmly refused to lend it.是以特求長兄，望兄長開天地之心，同小弟到大嫂處一行，千萬借扇搧滅火焰，保得唐僧過山，即時完璧。」牛王聞言，心如火發，咬響鋼牙罵道：「你說你不無禮，你原來是借扇之故。That is why I have come especially to beg you, elder brother — I hope you will show a heart as broad as heaven and earth, and go with your little brother to elder sister-in-law's place, so that I may by all means borrow the fan to blow out the flames, allow Tang Seng to cross the mountain, and return it to you at once, intact." When the Bull King heard this, his heart burst into flame, and gnashing his steel-hard teeth he cursed, "So you claim you meant no offense — it was all along on account of borrowing the fan.一定先欺我山妻，山妻想是不肯，故來尋我，且又趕我愛妾。You must have first bullied my wife, and since she likely refused, you came seeking me — and on top of that you chased after my beloved concubine.常言道：『朋友妻，不可欺；As the saying goes: 'A friend's wife is not to be trifled with;朋友妾，不可滅。』你既欺我妻又滅我妾，多大無禮？a friend's concubine is not to be humiliated.' You have both bullied my wife and humiliated my concubine — how much more insolent could you be?上來吃我一棍。」大聖道：「哥要說打，弟也不懼。Come and take a blow of my rod!" The Great Sage said, "If elder brother wants to fight, your little brother is not afraid either.但求寶貝，是我真心，萬乞借我使使。」牛王道：「你若三合敵得我，我著山妻借你；But my wish to borrow the treasure is truly sincere — I beg you most earnestly to let me use it." The Bull King said, "If you can withstand three rounds against me, I will have my wife lend it to you;如敵不過，打死你，與我雪恨。」大聖道：「哥說得是。but if you cannot withstand me, I will beat you to death to avenge my grievance." The Great Sage said, "Elder brother speaks fairly.小弟這一向疏懶，不曾與兄相會，不知這幾年武藝比昔日如何，我兄弟們請演演棍看。」這牛王那容分說，掣混鐵棍，劈頭就打；Your little brother has been idle of late and has not had the chance to meet with you, elder brother, so I don't know how your martial skill these past years compares with before — let us brothers try out our rods and see." The Bull King, allowing no further discussion, drew his iron rod and struck straight at his head;這大聖持金箍棒，隨手相迎。the Great Sage raised his golden-hooped rod and met the blow at once.兩個這場好鬥：The two of them fought a splendid battle:

大圣道：「既蒙宽恩，感谢不尽。但尚有一事奉渎，万望周济周济。」牛王骂道：「这猢狲不识起倒，饶了你，倒还不走，反来缠我。甚么周济周济？」大圣道：「实不瞒长兄，小弟因保唐僧西进，路阻火焰山，不能前进。询问土人，知尊嫂罗刹女有一柄芭蕉扇，欲求一用。昨到旧府奉拜嫂嫂，嫂嫂坚执不借。是以特求长兄，望兄长开天地之心，同小弟到大嫂处一行，千万借扇扇灭火焰，保得唐僧过山，即时完璧。」牛王闻言，心如火发，咬响钢牙骂道：「你说你不无礼，你原来是借扇之故。一定先欺我山妻，山妻想是不肯，故来寻我，且又赶我爱妾。常言道：『朋友妻，不可欺；朋友妾，不可灭。』你既欺我妻又灭我妾，多大无礼？上来吃我一棍。」大圣道：「哥要说打，弟也不惧。但求宝贝，是我真心，万乞借我使使。」牛王道：「你若三合敌得我，我著山妻借你；如敌不过，打死你，与我雪恨。」大圣道：「哥说得是。小弟这一向疏懒，不曾与兄相会，不知这几年武艺比昔日如何，我兄弟们请演演棍看。」这牛王那容分说，掣混铁棍，劈头就打；这大圣持金箍棒，随手相迎。两个这场好斗：

這大聖與那牛王鬥經百十回合，不分勝負。The Great Sage and the Bull King fought through over a hundred rounds without either gaining the upper hand.正在難解難分之際，只聽得山峰上有人叫道：「牛爺爺，我大王多多拜上，幸賜早臨，好安座也。」牛王聞說，使混鐵棍支住金箍棒，叫道：「猢猻，你且住了，等我去一個朋友家赴會來者。」言畢，按下雲頭，徑至洞裡，對玉面公主道：「美人，才那雷公嘴的男子乃孫悟空猢猻，被我一頓棍打走了，再不敢來。Just as the fight had reached a deadlock, they suddenly heard someone calling from the mountain peak, "Grandfather Bull, my great king sends his respectful regards, and hopes you will grace us with your early arrival, so that we may seat you properly." Hearing this, the Bull King braced his iron rod against the golden-hooped rod and called out, "Macaque, hold on for now — let me go attend a gathering at a friend's house." With that, he lowered his cloud, went straight into the cave, and said to Princess Yumian, "My beauty, that Thunder-God-mouthed fellow just now was the macaque Sun Wukong; I have driven him off with a sound beating of my rod, and he dare not come again.你放心耍子。Set your mind at ease and go on enjoying yourself.我到一個朋友處吃酒去也。」他才卸了盔甲，穿一領鴉青剪絨襖子，走出門，跨上辟水金睛獸，著小的們看守門庭，半雲半霧，一直向西北方而去。I am off to a friend's place to drink." Only then did he remove his armor, put on a crow-black velvet jacket, walk out the door, and mount his water-repelling golden-eyed beast; leaving the young servants to watch over the gate and courtyard, he went off half in cloud and half in mist, heading straight toward the northwest.

这大圣与那牛王斗经百十回合，不分胜负。正在难解难分之际，只听得山峰上有人叫道：「牛爷爷，我大王多多拜上，幸赐早临，好安座也。」牛王闻说，使混铁棍支住金箍棒，叫道：「猢狲，你且住了，等我去一个朋友家赴会来者。」言毕，按下云头，径至洞里，对玉面公主道：「美人，才那雷公嘴的男子乃孙悟空猢狲，被我一顿棍打走了，再不敢来。你放心耍子。我到一个朋友处吃酒去也。」他才卸了盔甲，穿一领鸦青剪绒袄子，走出门，跨上辟水金睛兽，著小的们看守门庭，半云半雾，一直向西北方而去。

大聖在高峰上看著，心中暗想道：「這老牛不知又結識了甚麼朋友，往那裡去赴會。The Great Sage, watching from the high peak, thought to himself, "Who knows what new friend this old Bull has made now, that he's off to attend a gathering.等老孫跟他走走。」好行者，將身幌一幌，變作一陣清風趕上，隨著同走。Let old Monkey follow along and see." What a Xingzhe — with a shake of his body, he turned into a gust of clear wind, caught up with him, and traveled along together.不多時，到了一座山中，那牛王寂然不見。Before long, they arrived at a certain mountain, where the Bull King suddenly vanished without a trace.大聖聚了原身，入山尋看。The Great Sage resumed his original form and went into the mountain to search and look around.那山中有一面清水深潭，潭邊有一座石碣，碣上有六個大字，乃「亂石山碧波潭」。In that mountain there was a deep pool of clear water, and beside the pool stood a stone tablet, on which were six large characters: "Bibo Pool, Mount Luanshi."大聖暗想道：「老牛斷然下水去了。The Great Sage thought to himself, "The old Bull has certainly gone down into the water.水底之精，若不是蛟精，必是龍精、魚精，或是龜鱉黿鼉之精。Whatever spirit lives at the bottom of this water, if it is not a jiao-dragon spirit, must be a dragon spirit, a fish spirit, or the spirit of some turtle, soft-shelled turtle, or alligator.等老孫也下去水看看。」Let old Monkey go down into the water too and have a look."
