In the twilight, a boy carrying firewood walked along the mountain path.
Suddenly, a tiger leaped out from the forest and pinned him to the ground.
"Ah!"
The boy covered his head with his hands in fear, but the anticipated pain did not come after a long wait.
He moved his hands away and saw a young man in front of him, caressing the tiger.
The tiger wagged its tail, docile like a cat.
"I'll give you a bit of immortal power so you won't eat humans anymore."
Sun Wukong smiled and patted the tiger: "Take me to the village below the mountain."
"Ao."
The tiger wagged its tail and lay down on the ground.
The boy was stunned.
"Come on up."
Sun Wukong turned around, pulled him up, and placed him on the tiger's back.
With a prompt, the tiger carried them both towards the foot of the mountain.
Upon reaching the base of the mountain, Sun Wukong released the tiger back into the forest.
