This story is part of the The Monkey King unit. Story source: "The Ape Sun Wu Kung: Laotzse" in The Chinese Fairy Book, ed. by R. Wilhelm and translated by Frederick H. Martens (1921).
I love how mischievous Sun is in this part of the story. He comes off as a real trickster and I would love to implement that elements into a re-telling. I also want to go a little more in depth about the pills of life, maybe describe them more and tell some of their effects. Fleshing out Laotzse wouldn't hurt either, I might want to do more research on him because he sounds like a different, Greek God that I'm more familiar with. I think this would be an excellent part of the story to retell.
