"One monk will carry water to drink, two monks will carry water together to drink, three monks have no water to drink..." Xia Dabao sang with gusto, not daring to skimp on her singing effort.
And it still sounded very pleasant.
But after the song ended, Shagen asked, "Why does one monk have water to drink, two monks also have water to drink, but three monks have no water to drink?"
Shagen was looking at Axiang as he asked.
Axiang thought for a moment, then shook her head, not quite understanding.
"My mother said that when there's only one monk in the temple, he'll go fetch water himself, with two monks, since there are only two people, they'll go carry water together. But with three monks, now there's one too many, and everyone wants to be the spare one, so with three monks, there's no water to drink," Xia Dabao patiently explained to Shagen.
