Early the next day, Yang Xiao said to the chimpanzee:
"I'm going to hunt monsters outside the canyon and come back here to rest at night."
"I'll go with you."
The chimpanzee expressed excitedly that he wanted to join.
The lion also said:
"I'll go too."
Yang Xiao laughed and said:
"If you both go, the water from the Holy Spring will soon be drunk by other animals."
The chimpanzee and the lion were stunned, thinking there might be some truth to that.
The chimpanzee then said to the lion:
"Lion stays, I'll go."
"Dumb ape stays, I go."
"Okay, stop fighting, the lion stays behind. Aren't you worried it will steal the spring water? King Kong stays, aren't you worried it will steal the spring water?"
The chimpanzee and the lion immediately scratched their heads, showing that this was a tricky issue.
