exciting little story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
_Three Monks, No Water_ is the story of how three monks came to learn the lesson of responsibility. One young monk lived alone in a mountaintop monastery. He carried water daily from the creek in the valley. When an older, skinny monk arrives, they try to carry the water together, but with no luck, because one monk is much taller than the other one. A fat monk then arrives, and each monk then believes that the water chore can be done without him. As a result, no water is carried to the house, and a fire starts the next day. All three monks pull together to extinguish the fire, and they fairly divvy up the chores from that day on.My 2 1/2 year old son likes this book. While it is probably most suitable for older children, an inquisitive child will be fascinated with the peculiarities of the monastic life portrayed in this book. It's not every day a toddler sees a book about monks!Of course, the fire is quite exciting as well.ken32
