Abridged Version
相传相传 古古 时候时候 东胜东胜 神州神州 傲傲 来来 国花国花 果果 山山 上上 ，有有 一块一块 仙仙 石石 ，千万千万 年来年来 感受感受 天地天地 日日 月月 的的 精华精华 ，忽忽 一一 日日 轰然轰然 迸迸 裂裂 ，从中从中 产产 出出 一个一个 石石 猴猴 ，迎风迎风 跪跪 拜拜 四方四方 。
It was said that during the ancient times in the Flowers and Fruits Mountain of Eastern China in a country called Ao Lai, there was an immortal rock. For tens of thousands of years, it absorbed the energy of heaven and earth and of the sun and the moon. Suddenly one day, it exploded with a booming sound. From this event a Stone Monkey was born, in the wind he kneeled down to pay respect to his surroundings.
此此 石石 猴猴 自自 有有 灵性灵性 ，在在 花花 果果 山山 上上 觅觅 得得 一一 处处 外外 有有 飞飞 瀑瀑 垂垂 盖盖 的的 洞洞 府府 ，带领带领 山山 上上 众众 猿猴猿猴 ，一一一一 穿穿 越越 水水 帘帘 而而 入入 。
The Stone Monkey has a soul. In the Flowers and Fruits Mountain, he searched everywhere and found a cave concealed by a cascading waterfall. Bringing a group of monkeys from the mountains, one by one they entered through the curtain of water.
原来原来 水水 帘帘 后面后面 有有 一一 石石 室室 ，各各 色色 石石 制制 锅锅 灶灶 ，碗碗 盆盆 ，床床 凳凳 一一 应应 俱俱 全全 ，正中正中 石石 碣碣 上上 刻刻 着着 “花花 果果 山山 福福 地地 ，水水 帘帘 洞洞 洞洞 天天 ”几个几个 大大 字字 ，真是真是 个个 好好 安安 身身 处处 。
Actually, behind the curtain of water, there was a stone dwelling, with multi-colored pots and pans made from stone, bowls, and stone beds and benches in their entirety. Carved in the middle of the stone tablets were several large characters that read: "The Good Fortune Place of the Fruits and Flowers Mountain" and "The Heavenly Cavern of the Water Curtain Cave". It was a really good place to take shelter in.
从此从此 ，众众 猿猴猿猴 朝朝 游游 花花 果果 山山 ，暮暮 宿宿 水水 帘帘 洞洞 ，不胜不胜 欢乐欢乐 。大家大家 便便 拜拜 石石 猴猴 为为 王王 ，石石 猴猴 高高 登登 王王 位位 ，将将 “石石 ”字字 隐隐 去去 ，唤唤 称称 “美美 猴猴 王王 ”。
Henceforth, the monkeys roamed about the Flowers and Fruits Mountain during the day and stayed in the Water Curtain Cave in the evening, they could not have been happier. Everyone worshipped the Stone Monkey as a king, when the Stone Monkey officially ascended his throne, he dropped the word 'Stone' from his name, and called himself the 'Beautiful Monkey King'.
这天这天 ，美美 猴猴 王王 忽然忽然 悲伤悲伤 流泪流泪 ，担忧担忧 一一 朝朝 身亡身亡 ，欢乐欢乐 不不 长长 。班班 部部 中中 一一 通通 背背 猴猴 奏奏 道道 ：“世世 上上 只有只有 神神 ，仙仙 ，佛佛 三三 者者 ，可以可以 长长 生生 不不 老老 。”猴猴 王王 听听 罢罢 转转 悲悲 为为 喜喜 说说 ：“我我 明日明日 即即 告辞告辞 你你 等等 ，走走 遍遍 天涯天涯 海角海角 也也 要要 寻寻 仙仙 问问 道道 。”
One day, the Beautiful Monkey King suddenly shed tears in sorrow, being worried that one day he may die, and his joys would be short-lived. One of the monkey ministers called the Tong Bei Monkey respectfully said,"In this world only gods, immortals, and buddhas could live forever without aging." Upon hearing this, the Monkey King changed his sorrow into joy, saying, "Tomorrow I will take leave of you all, even if I have to go to the ends of the earth, I will continue to seek the immortals and ask about the way to immortality".
