三個和尚
Threemonks
從前有座山,山上有一個破廟,有一天,一個小和尚他來到廟里,看見廟里的水缸沒水了,就挑來水倒?jié)M了水缸,還給觀音瓶子里加滿了水,干枯的楊枝終于恢復(fù)了生機。他每天挑水、念經(jīng)、敲木魚,夜里不讓老鼠來偷東西,生活過得安穩(wěn)自在。

不久,來了個高和尚。他渴極了,他一到廟里,就把半缸水喝光了。小和尚讓他去挑水,高和尚心想一個人去挑水太吃虧了,他要小和尚和他一起去抬水。于是兩個人抬著一只水桶去山下取水,抬水的時候水桶必須放在扁擔(dān)的中央,要不不在中間,兩個人就推來推去,誰都不想多出一點力氣。

后來,又來了個胖和尚。他也想喝水,但恰好缸里沒有水了。小和尚和高和尚讓他自己去挑,胖和尚挑來一擔(dān)水,放下水桶就立刻咕咚咕咚的大喝起來,兩桶水被喝了個精光。

后來誰也不去挑水,從此三個和尚就沒水喝了。

大家各念各的經(jīng),各敲各的木魚,觀音菩薩面前的凈水瓶也沒人添水,柳枝枯萎了。夜里老鼠出來偷東西,誰也不管。結(jié)果老鼠打翻燭臺,燃起了大火。和尚們慌了神,三個和尚這才一起奮力救火,大火撲滅了,他們也覺醒了。

從此三個和尚齊心協(xié)力,自然也就有水喝了。
