三个和尚3

Jun’s strongest, most heart-felt wish was to get clean. He got a small bucket from the closet and stepped outside.

But to go to the river, get water, and scrub . . . well, wouldn’t the others think he had given in to them? He put away the bucket.

The monks looked up at the sky, pleading for rain. It looked like it would rain. Didn’t it? But no rain came!

Without water, the three monks got thirstier, more tired, and smellier.

Even the goats, not known for being fussy, began to stay away. They started living outside.

One day, as the monks snored, a rat sneaked onto the altar. It too wanted water.
