The Three Monks

There is a small temple on a mountain. In the temple, there lives a young monk. Every day, he carries water, cleans the temple and preys. Not long after, a thin monk comes to the temple. He sees that the temple is very clean and quiet. So he decides to stay here. On the first day, the thin monk drinks up half of the water in the vat. The young monk is a little angry, he asks the thin monk to carry water. But after that, the young monk doesn’t carry water again. The thin monk thinks it’s not fair. Then he asks the young monk to carry water together. So they carry water together every day. The life is still good for them.

Some days later, a fat monk comes to the temple. He likes this temple too, and he also stays.
