Classic Children's Story (1): The Wolf Came

Once upon a time, there was a goat herder who went to the mountains every day to herd sheep.

One day, he was so bored that he came up with an idea to tease everyone for fun. He shouted down the hill to the farmers who were planting their fields, "The wolf is coming! The wolf is coming! Help!" When the farmers heard the shouts they rushed up the hill with their hoes and sickles, and as they ran they shouted, "Don't be afraid, my boy, we've come to help you fight the evil wolf!"

The farmers rushed panting to the mountain to see that there was not even a shadow of the wolf! The goat herder laughed out loud, "That's funny, you guys fell for it!" The farmers left in anger. The next day, the goat herder repeated his trick, and the kind farmers rushed up to help him fight the wolf again, but there was still no sign of the wolf.

The shepherd laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight, "Haha! You guys fell for it again! Haha!" The group was very angry with the shepherd boy for lying again and again, and never believed him again. After a few days, the wolf really came, all of a sudden broke into the flock. The shepherd was so scared that he desperately shouted to the farmers, "The wolf is coming! The wolf is coming! Help! The wolf is really coming!"

When the farmers heard his shouts, they thought he was lying again, and they all ignored him, no one went to help him, and as a result, many of the sheep of the shepherd were bitten to death by the wolf.

This shows that lying is a bad behavior, which means that you don't respect other people, and you will lose other people's trust in yourself. We should cultivate the good quality of treating others sincerely.

Classic Children's Story (2): The Three Monks

There was a small temple on the mountain, and in the temple there was a little monk. Every day he carried water, recited the sutra, knocked on the wooden fish, added water to the water bottle on the table of Avalokiteshvara, and prevented the rats from stealing at night, so he lived a peaceful life.

Soon, there came a long monk. As soon as he arrived at the temple, he drank half a jar of water. The young monk asked him to go and fetch water, and the long monk thought that it would be too much of a loss for him to do it alone

so he asked the young monk to go with him to carry the water, but two people can only carry one bucket at a time, which is a great deal of trouble. They were both calculating, and demanded that the bucket must be placed in the center of the stretcher, and that they must not go too fast or too slow, and that each of them should try to take advantage of the other. But, despite all the bickering, they always managed to have water to drink and food to eat every day.

Then came a fat monk. He wanted to drink water too, but there was no water in the tank. The little monk and the long monk told him to pick it up himself, and the fat monk picked up a load of water and immediately drank it all by himself.

From then on no one picked water, and the three monks had no water to drink. Everyone recited his own sutra and knocked on his own wooden fish, and no one refilled the water bottle in front of the Goddess of Mercy, and the flowers and plants withered. The rats came out at night to steal, and no one cared. As a result, the rats were so rampant that they knocked over the candlestick and started a big fire. The three monks then fought together to put out the fire , which was extinguished, and they were awakened.

From then on, the three monks worked together, and there was naturally more water .
