Abbreviation of the story of three monks without water to drink.

There is a small temple on the mountain, and there is a young monk in the temple. Every day, he carries water, recites scriptures, knocks wooden fish, adds water to the water bottle on Guanyin Bodhisattva's desk, and prevents rats from stealing food at night, leading a stable and comfortable life. Soon, a long monk came. As soon as he arrived at the temple, he drank half a jar of water. The young monk told him to fetch water. The long monk thought it was a pity to carry water alone, so he asked the young monk to carry water together. Two people can only carry one bucket, and the bucket must be placed in the center of the pole, so that they can feel at ease. In this way, there is still water to drink. Later, another fat monk came. He also wants to drink water, but there is no water in the tank. The young monk and the long monk told him to pick his own. The fat monk picked a handful of water and drank it all by himself. Since then, no one has carried water, so the three monks have no water to drink. Everyone chants sutras and knocks on wooden fish. The water bottle in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva was not full, and the flowers withered. Rats come out to steal things at night, and no one cares. As a result, rats ran wild, knocked over candlesticks and ignited a fire. Three monks struggled to put out the fire together. The fire was put out and they woke up. From then on, three monks and Qi Xin worked together, and there was naturally more water. The moral is that unity is strength, and nothing can be done by shirking responsibilities and obligations.
