He Zuo thought that he should he served because he was a guest and he was tired after walking all day.

Chin Lee believed that since he had made the buckets as well as the shoulder pole and had kindly let He Zuo stay, it should he He Zuo’s turn to fetch the water.

They argued and argued until their throats were so dry that they felt like they were on fire. They realised that either they had to get water right away or they would both soon faint from thirst.

“Well, to be fair and square, we should both go,” they finally agreed.

They put one bucket in the middle of the pole with each end supported on their shoulders. Because He Zuo was tall and Chin Leee was short, the water spilled out of the bucket along the way. By the time they got back, the bucket was only half-full.

This only left enough water for cooking, so that neither of the monks could wash up before bed.
