The third storyline follows Danny, an "all-American boy" and his Chinese cousin Chin-Kee, who comes to visit every year. Danny is embarrassed by Chin-Kee, who is depicted as a racist stereotype, in traditional queue with buck teeth, speaking in pidgin English. At the end of this narrative, it is revealed that Chin-Kee is The Monkey King in disguise. Danny is Jin Wang, who "transformed" into a Caucasian boy after being prevented from pursuing the girl of his dreams because he was Chinese. The Monkey King tells Danny that his son Wei-Chen was sent to live among the mortals without sin for forty years, but no longer wanted to follow his father's footsteps of serving humans after learning about their self-centeredness. That was what caused him to visit Danny annually. Danny realized that the reason Wei-Chen fell into sin was his fault. He turns back into Jin Wang and embraces his Chinese identity, while also reconciling with Wei-Chen, the Monkey King's son.
