A monk and a butcher 和尚與屠夫

和尚與屠夫　

從前有一個和尚跟一個屠夫是好朋友。
和尚天天早上要起來念經，
而屠夫天天要起來殺豬。
為了不耽誤他們早上的工作，
於是他們約定早上互相叫對方起床。

　
多年以後，和尚與屠夫相繼去世了。
屠夫去上天堂了，
而和尚卻下地獄了。 　　

因為屠夫天天作善事，叫和尚起來念經，相反地，和尚天天叫屠夫起來殺生。

你做的東西是不是都是你認為對的，卻不一定是對的。

A monk and a butcher　

A monk and a butcher are the best of friends.
The monk wakes up early in the morning to pray,
the butcher wakes up early in the morning to kill pigs.
To make sure both get up in the morning,
they promised to wake each other up every day.

One day both of them passed away.
The butcher went to heaven,
the monk went to hell.

The butcher carried out good deeds every day, asking the monk to pray every day.
In reverse, the monk carried out bad deeds every day, asking the butcher to kill every day.

We always feel that what we do every day is the right thing, without realizing that it might not be the right thing.
