It must be that this is its nest, where it lays its eggs and rears its young, and it fears I’ve taken its place — that’s why it plagues me so.

總評 Commentary

The second peck drives Eight Rules to a new, equally wrong theory: the bird must be defending its nest, fearing he has usurped its breeding-place. Having reasoned himself out of any suspicion of Pilgrim, he gives up the nap in exasperation and shoulders his rake to move on — exactly the outcome Pilgrim’s torments were designed to produce.

The passage closes by turning to the watcher’s glee: the whole performance has “doubled up” the Handsome Monkey King with laughter, and his parting line — that the blockhead, eyes wide open, cannot recognize “his own kin” — names the running joke precisely. Pilgrim’s disguises are so complete, and Eight Rules so unobservant, that the pig never once suspects the bird tormenting him is his own senior disciple.
