Book Synopsis
On top of a huge mountain, there is a small temple where a young monk lives. Every day, he goes down the mountain to a river to fetch water. One day, a skinny monk comes to the temple, hoping to live there. The young monk greets him happily. However, there will not be enough water to use with one more person. Neither of them wants to fetch water. Soon after, a fat monk comes to the temple, hoping to live there, too. The skinny monk and the young monk quickly push the task of fetching water to him. But none of the three monks is willing to go down the mountain to fetch water. They can only hope that it will rain soon. However, the rain does not come, but a lightning strikes the big tree in the temple and sets the temple on fire. The three monks want to put out the fire, but there is not a drop of water in the temple. This time they are in big trouble! What should they do? Do they put out the fire eventually?
