Chaos at the Feast of Peaches
One day， the Jade Emperor invited Monkey Sun， the GREat Sage Equalling Heaven， to Heaven， and asked him to administer the Peach Orchard. The Great Sage was overjoyed because anyone who ate the ripened peaches became eternal， living as long as Heaven and Earth. Everyday he picked the best peaches to enjoy， and after he had his fill， he shrunk himself to only two inches long and slept on the branch of a tree. One day the Queen Mother arranged a banquet of peaches by the Jade Pool. When the fairies sent by her were picking peaches in the Peach Orchard， the Great Sage awoke and was annoyed to discover he was not invited to the feast. He spoke a magic spell which immobilized fairies， then he went straight to the Jade Pool where he saw rare fruits and fine delicacies and smelt the fragrance of jade liquor. He performed a spell by bulling several hairs from his body and chewing them up， the hairs turned into sleep-inducing insects which then bit all the busy serants， causing them to fall asleep. Then the Great Sage ate rare delicacies and drank precious wines until he was completely full. He put the leftovers in a big bag for the small monkeys on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. After this， he went to the place where Lord Lao Zi kept the elixir. The Great Sage ate up all the golden pills of elixir in the precious gourd， then he rushed out of the Gate of Heaven and went straight down to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit.
