Listen to the story
Tángsēng hé tā de sān gè túdì: Sūn Wùkōng, Zhū Bājiè, Shā Héshang yìqǐ qù Yìndù qǔjīng.
唐僧 和 他 的 三 个 徒弟：孙 悟空、 猪 八戒、 沙 和尚 一起 去 印度 取经。
Monk Tang (His full name is Tang Xuanzang) and his three disciples, Sun Wukong, Pig Bajie, and Monk Sha went to India on a pilgrimage to seek Buddhist scriptures.
Yǒu yì tiān, tiān rè jí le. Sūn Wùkōng hé Zhū Bājiè qù zhǎo shuǐguǒ.
有 一 天，天 热 极了。孙 悟空 和 猪 八戒 去 找 水果。
One day, on their way to India, the weather was extremely hot. Sun Wukong went to find fruits with Pig Bajie.
Bàn lùshang, Bājiè shuō dùzi téng.
半 路上， 八戒 说 肚子 疼。
However, Bajie (the short name for Pig Bajie) complained of a stomachache on the way.
Sūn Wùkōng zhīdào, Bājiè zhǐshì xiǎng tōulǎn, jiù zìjǐ qù zhǎo shuǐguò le.
孙 悟空 知道， 八戒 只是 想 偷懒， 就自己去 找 水果 了。
Sun Wukong knew that Bajie merely wanted to slack off, so Sun Wukong went to find fruits himself.
Hòulái, Zhū Bājiè zài fùjìn fāxiàn le yígè xīguā.
后来， 猪 八戒 在 附近 发现 了 一个 西瓜。
Later on, Bajie spotted a large watermelon nearby.
Tā bǎ xīguā fēn chéng sì kuài, dǎsuàn fēn gěi shīfu hé tóngbàn chī. Kěshì zìjǐ méi rěn zhù, bā sì kuài xīguā dōu chī
他 把 西瓜 分 成 四 块，打算 分 给 师傅 和 同伴 吃。可是自己 没 忍 住，把 四 块 西瓜 都 吃

He divided it into four sections, planning to give them to his master and his fellows, yet he was so greedy that he ate the whole watermelon himself.
Kàn dào Sūn Wùkōng huílai, tā liánmáng bǎ xīguā pí rēng diào le. Xīn xiǎng méi rén huì fāxiàn de.
看 到 孙 悟空 回来，他 连忙 把 西瓜 皮 扔 掉 了。心 想 没 人 会 发现 的。
Upon Sun Wukong’s return, Bajie quickly threw away the watermelon rind. He figured no one would notice.
Rán'ér, zài huíqù de lù shang, Bājiè cǎi dào le zìjǐ gāngcái rēng de xīguā pí shang, lián shuāi le sì jiāo.
然而， 在 回去 的 路 上， 八戒 踩 到 了自己 刚才 扔 的 西瓜 皮 上， 连 摔 了四 跤。
