Alas, Lao Na regretted that he should have accepted two more disciples later. These two dead ghosts are not good at chanting sutras, but they are very good at using water! If you drink water all day long, you will feel like a ghost dying of thirst! Wash your hair, face, and that stinky skin, wash it frequently, it’s so stinky! Pity the golden pool that I worked so hard to get out of, it's turned upside down! There has been no water in the mountains for several days, what should I do? Wait until I call out these two idiots! Skinny monkey, rookie, come out! (The thin and short monks came up from the left and right. They were tired and looked ugly.) Fat monk: Dear brothers, our temple has been without water for many days.

It’s not that I am relying on my old age to show off my old age. I can’t challenge him! Besides, I have been practicing for many years, so it’s not a big deal if I don’t drink water for a few days! It’s you, ah——? Thin Monk: Brother Fat Dun, I have been practicing the water-carrying technique with you for four or five years. It’s time to give up the opportunity to practice to the newbies who arrived later. ? Short monk: Brother, have mercy! Brother, have mercy! My body is too thin to carry a load of water up from the mountain, so don't call me! ? Fat monk: (angry) You don’t want to do it? Are you trying to do something as trivial as getting water? If it's not dry, then there's no need to use water! Come, meditate and chant sutras! (The three monks leaned on each other, meditating, with their hands clasped together. The fat monk knocked on the wooden fish, and each of them chanted "Namo Amitabha". As they chanted, the thin and short monks couldn't stand it anymore, and they acted like they were unbearably thirsty. The old monk felt itchy and unbearable, so he took the opportunity to sneak down the mountain to find some water. The thin and short monks noticed the trick and took turns following his example.)

The two monks were carrying water to drink, carrying water to drink. The three monks had no water to drink. Hey, no, no water.

Glasses cadre: (smiling heartily) Easy to talk about, easy to talk about, this is easy to handle, I will send someone to do it immediately when I get back! (Lead the entourage to exit) ? (The three monks then sit around and chant sutras: Amitabha, Namo Amitabha, Bodhisattva of Running Water, Amitabha) Short Monk: (Suddenly jumps up) Ah, tap water, tap water is here! ? Three monks: (showing excitement) Yeah! ? Fat monk: (Be the first to open the water faucet) Come on, water will come on its own! (Singing) Tap water is really high-end. Farewell to the pole and bucket. Please rest in peace for the bucket!

Thin Monk: (Stretching out his long arm to scoop up a handful of water and drinking in big gulps) My father, my mother, drink tap water and your meals will taste even more delicious! Short monk: (squeezing in between the two brothers, stretching his head towards the water faucet, as if washing his hair) Tsk tsk, it feels so refreshing, so refreshing, so refreshing! ? (Three monks danced a circle dance and sang as they danced) The Party’s policies are good, the Party’s policies are good, the Party’s policies are good.

The three of them rush towards the water faucet) Fat Monk: (Referring to the thin monk) Skinny Monkey, it’s your turn to turn on the water faucet, right? ? Thin Monk: (pointing to the short monk urgently) You must be a rookie. He was the only one who drank and washed just now. He used a lot of water! ? Short monk: (despondently) I consider myself unlucky, I will drive! But after I open it, who is responsible for closing it? You can’t turn off the water and it belongs to me, right? ? Fat monk: (Looking at the thin monk and saying nothing, he became angry) No one cares? Forget it! Then chant the sutra! (Meditate and chant sutras as above)

Three monks) Thank you for making new contributions to the economic development of Jinshui County. We must publicize and promote the water-saving experience of the three eminent monks with great fanfare. , please accept an interview with a reporter from this county TV station. ? The three monks stared at me, and I stared at him, and they all said in unison: We don’t want to turn on the faucet, we don’t want to use water. ? (The spectacled cadres, reporters, and all the entourage all looked like they were fainting)

Moreover, every time you go to the mountain to offer condolences, you don’t have to carry a barrel of oil or rice and noodles. Each monk has a piece of Nongfu Spring.
