张三郎（如图1.1-4）九岁那年的一天，刚从爷爷邓国公的家里回来，哥哥武二郎（如图3）就跑来找他，神神密密地说：“猴哥回来了！他的衣服可奇怪了。他还有天书。天书的羊皮纸是白色的，上面写满了奇奇怪怪的符号，说是龙文，谁也不认识！就只有猴哥能读。”
张三郎不信，说：“你骗我！哪里来的猴哥！？“
One day when Third Wolf Zhang (see figure 1.1-4) was nine years old, he had just returned from his grandfather Deng State Publican’s house when his brother Martial Second Wolf (see figure 3) came to him and said mysteriously, "Monkey Brother is back! His clothes are very strange. He also has a Sky book. The parchment of the sky book is white, and it is covered with strange symbols, which are said to be dragon hieroglyphics. No one can understand them! Only Monkey Brother can read them. "
Third Wolf Zhang didn't believe it and said, "You're lying to me! Where did this monkey brother come from!?"
武二郎回答：“咱大哥从小被寄养在别人家里了。他长得跟猴子一样。那家人说，“如果不把他送回来培养一家人之间的感情。他长大后就不会认同咱们是兄弟了。所以他的养父母就他把送回来了。结果，他现在真的不朝咱妈叫妈！”
Martial Second Wolf replied, "Our eldest brother was fostered in someone else's home since he was young. He looks like a monkey. That family said, "If they don't send him back to foster the relationship among our family, he won't recognize us as brothers when he grows up. So, his foster parents sent him back. As a result, he really doesn't call our mother mom now!"
张三郎来到了武大郎（如图2）的房间，向他问好。武大郎不情愿地向他展示了他从巫毒学院带回来的课本。张三郎刚翻开书，武二郎就凑了过来。武大郎立刻把课本收了回去。不让他们俩看了。
Third Wolf Zhang came to Martial Big Wolf’s (see figure 2) room and greeted him. Martial Big Wolf reluctantly showed him the textbook he brought back from the Voodoo Academy. As soon as Third Wolf Zhang opened the book, Martial Second Wolf came over. Martial Big Wolf immediately took the textbook back and stopped them from reading it.
一天，武大郎拿着书就来找张夫人（亦作妈祖）了，说：“你这个坏女人！”
张夫人生气了，“你不叫我妈，还骂我”，就打他，问：“你为什么说我是坏女人？”
武大郎一边哭，一边翻书给她看，说：“你看你儿子把我的书扯得！”
One day, Martial Big Wolf came to Mrs. Zhang (aka. Mazu) with a book and said, "You bad woman!"
Mrs. Zhang got angry and said, "You don't call me mother, but you still scold me." She beat him and asked, "Why do you say I am a bad woman?"
Martial Big Wolf cried and showed her the book, saying, "Look at how your son has torn my book!"
张夫人一看，确实，那书有的地方被扯去了半页，有的地方被扯去了整页，就把武二郎叫过来，也打了一顿。
有人告诉张夫人，“你不能打孩子，你越打他，你们的母子关系越生分！你应该和他交谈，解决问题。”
张夫人就问武大郎，“你认为说我不是你妈？”
Mrs. Zhang saw that half a page had been torn from some parts of the book, and a whole page had been torn from others. She called Martial Second Wolf over and gave him a beating as well.
Someone told Mrs. Zhang, "You can't hit your child. The more you beat him, the more alienated your mother-son relationship will be! You should talk to him and solve the problem."
Mrs. Zhang asked Martial Big Wolf, "Why do you say I'm not your mother?"
武大郎说：“你那么高，我这么矮！”他还画图，用遗传学原理来解释。礼敬公和张夫人就请这方面的专家，例如相面先生，来和他辩论。结果，请来的专家辩论不过武大郎。不久后，这事就传开了，附近找不到这类专家了，因为人家来了，如果输了，就坏了名声。礼敬公夫妇就花重金，从外地请专家来。武二郎看见就因为这位猴儿哥，父母一盒子，一盒子地给人家金银，气愤得不得了。据传说，张夫人找人修补武大郎的书，也花了很多钱。这场辩论持续很长时间，终于把武大郎辩论败了。
Martial Big Wolf said, “You're so tall and I'm this short!” He also drew diagrams and used the principles of genetics to explain. Etiquette Salutation Publican and Mrs. Zhang then invited experts in the field, such as a face reader, to debate with him. As a result, the invited expert could not win over Martial Big Wolf. Soon after, the story spread, and no such expert could be found in the neighborhood, because if people came, it would be a bad reputation if they lost. Mr. and Mrs. Zhang then spent a lot of money to bring in experts from far away places. Martial Second Wolf saw that just because of this monkey brother, parents a box, a box of gold and silver to others, angry. According to legend, Mrs. Zhang also spent a lot of money to find someone to repair Martial Big Wolf's book. The debate lasted for a long time, and finally Martial Big Wolf was defeated.
1.1-2
自从武大郎回来了，礼敬公夫妇就带着孩子们走亲戚，到处给亲戚朋友送礼。到爷爷家时，爷爷看了武大郎打猴拳，高兴的不得了，大叫：“这是我孙子！” 爷爷还领着他们去到了一家姓孙的，马戏团家庭。武大郎看见那家人的身高都和他差不多，高兴了，和他们一起玩起了马戏团的杂耍。武二郎也和他们一起玩。武大郎爬到了高杆的顶端。礼敬公看了，害怕了，喊：“危险，快下来！” 张夫人说：“没事，我在这接着他。老张公把儿子拉出了院子，对他说：“孩子的母亲都不害怕，你怕什么！” 过了一会儿，张三郎也出来了。爷爷问：“和他们一起玩呗！出来干啥！？” 张三郎回答： “看着都害怕！”
Since Martial Big Wolf came back, Etiquette Salutation Publican couple have taken their children to visit relatives and give gifts to relatives and friends everywhere. When they arrived at the grandfather's house, the grandfather Deng State Publican saw Martial Big Wolf doing monkeyish martial art and was very happy. He shouted: "This is my grandson!" The grandfather also took them to a circus family surname Sun. Martial Big Wolf was happy to see that the family members were about the same height as him, and he played circus acrobatics with them. Martial Second Wolf also played with them. Martial Big Wolf climbed to the top of the high pole. Etiquette Salutation Publican saw it and was scared, shouted: "Danger, come down quickly!" Mrs. Zhang said: "It's okay, I'll catch him here. Old Zhang pulled his son out of the embankment and said to him: "The child's mother is not afraid, what are you afraid of!" After a while, Third Wolf Zhang also came out. Grandpa asked: "Play with them! What are you doing out!?" He replied: "It's scary just to see it!"
据传说，从这次旅行以后，武大郎接受了礼敬公是他的父亲，但仍然不接受张夫人（即妈祖）是他的母亲。而武二郎从此称呼他为孙猴子。
According to legend, after this trip, Martial Big Wolf accepted that Etiquette Salutation Publican was his father but still did not accept Mrs. Zhang (i.e. Mazu) as mother. Martial Second Wolf called him Monkey Sun from then on.
