　　Once upon a time，there was a mountain. There was a temple on the mountain. There was a little monk in the temple. He carried water ，recited ures and

knocked wooden fish every day. At night，he didn't let mice steal things. He lived a safe and comfortable life.

从前有座山，山上有座庙，庙里有个小和尚。他每天挑水、念经、敲木鱼，夜里不让老鼠来偷东西，生活过得安稳自在。

　Soon another monk came .As soon as he came to the temper, he drank up half of the tank of water. The little monk asked him to go to carry the water and he thought that it would be too bad for him to carry the water alone. He wanted to carry the water together with the little monk. They carried a bucket together and the bucket had to be put in the middle of the burden .They were at ease. Finally there was water to drink.

不久，来了一个和尚。他一到庙里就把半缸水喝光了，小和尚叫他去挑水，和尚心想：一个人去挑水太吃亏了，便要和小和尚一起去抬水，两个人抬着一只桶，而且水桶必须放在担子的中间，两个人才心安理得。这样总算还有水喝。

　　Later, another fat monk came, he also wanted to drink water. But there was no water in the tank. The two of them asked the fat monk to fetch the water by himself. The fat monk fetch a load of water and drank it up by himself.

后来，又来了一个胖和尚，他也想喝水。但缸里没水了，他们两个叫胖和尚自己去挑水，胖和尚挑来一担水，立刻独自喝光了。

　 From then on, none of them carried water. They recited ures and knocked wooden fish by themselves.They had no water to drink.

从此，他们三个谁也不挑水。大家都各念各的经，各敲各的木鱼，三个和尚就没水喝了。

　 At night， when mice came to steal things. they didn't care about it. As a result， the mice knocked down the Guanyin platform and knocked over the candle stick. A big fire happened.

夜里老鼠来偷东西，谁也不管。结果老鼠扒倒了观音瓶，打翻了烛台，燃起了大火。

　　The three monks worked together to put out the fire. They also woke up. Since then, the water in the water tank have been full again.

三个和尚这才一起奋力救火，大火扑灭了，他们也觉醒了。从此，三个和尚齐心协力，水缸里的水又满了。
