H
The Hungry Boy
An orphan boy lived with an elderly
monk in a village temple. Every morning,
the boy went to the village to collect
food from the villagers. Whatever food
he brought back, the kind monk shared
equally with the boy.
On New Year's day, the boy got
sixteen dumplings.
'So many dumplings!' the boy said, licking
his lips. 'Let me see how many I'll get?
He sat down and made two equal piles of
dumplings. There were eight in each!
"The monk always gives me half, so I'll eat the share that's mine. The boy gobbled
up eight dumplings one after the other. He packed the remaining dumplings in a
piece of paper and walked towards the temple.
The dumplings were delicious and he couldn't stop thinking about them. Tll eat a
few more,' he thought. He took out four dumplings and ate them as he walked.
He walked a little farther but his mind was still on the dumplings. I'll eat half of
what is left, he said to himself.
He opened the paper wrapping and quickly swallowed two dumplings. Having
rarely had such good food, he couldn't stop himself from eating another one. Now
there was only one dumpling left for the monk.
