100 Words a Day 34


“The hardest part about the temple so far has been carrying the water.”

“It’s true what they say then?”

“Yes brother, every day up before dawn and down to the well with the heavy, spikey buckets. We fill them up and carry them, arms out so we don’t get stabbed.”

“Wow, what happens if someone can’t hold the bucket up?”

“They go to the pagoda forest I guess.”

“That’s a bitter way to treat your novices.”

“Yes brother, but Kung Fu is a harsh and greedy mistress.”

“Is it worth it?”

“It’s not a price you think about before paying.”
