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.

經典閱讀系列

山上有一座小廟。廟裡住著一個小和尚。每天，他挑水，打掃寺廟，唸經。不久之後，一個瘦和尚來到了寺廟。他看到這個寺廟又幹淨又安靜，於是，他決定留在這裡。第一天，瘦和尚喝光了水缸裡的一半水。小和尚有點兒不高興。他讓瘦和尚去打水。但是，從那以後，小和尚就不再打水了。瘦和尚覺得這不公平。然後他叫小和尚一起去挑水。於是，每天他們一起去挑水。生活依然過得不錯。

又過了一些天，一個胖和尚來到了寺廟。他也很喜歡這個寺廟，他也就留下來了。胖和尚渴了，但是水缸裡沒有水。小和尚和瘦和尚就讓胖和尚去打些水。於是胖和尚打了一缸水。但是他一個人把水都喝光了。另外兩個和尚很生氣。從此以後，他們都不打水，不打掃寺廟，也不念經了。

一天晚上，一隻老鼠來到寺廟吃東西。它打翻了蠟燭，整個寺廟都著了火。三個和尚趕來滅火，但是沒有水。最後，整個寺廟被燒為灰燼。三個和尚沒有了地方住。他們很後悔。
