  One day, a high official wanted to amuse himself in a temple.

  His subordinates notified the monks2 in the temple three days in advance to prepare a good meal on time. So all the monks in the temple busied themselves with the preparation.

  The temple was situated3 in a remote mountain, surrounded by bamboo groves4, and very tranquil5. After the high official had strolled about for a while, he was very pleased. While dining, he recited lines from a poem of the Tang Dynasty: "Passing through the bamboo courtyard and meeting a monk1,A half day's leisure is gained in this fleeting6 life."

  When the old monk heard these lines of the poem, he couldn't help laughing.

  The high official asked hastily: "What are you laughing about?"

  The old monk replied: "Your Honour have indeed gained a half day's leisure, but I have been busy for three whole days."

  一天,有一個(gè)大官,要到寺院里去游玩。

  他的手下人便在三天前就通知寺院里的和尚,準(zhǔn)時(shí)備好飯菜。于是,寺院里所有的和尚,都忙著張羅了起來。

  寺院坐落在深山里,四面都是竹林,的確非常清靜。大官游玩了一番之后,非常高興,一面吃飯,一面吟起了唐人的詩句:“因過竹院逢僧話,又得浮生半日閑。”

  老和尚聽了詩句,不覺笑了起來。

  大官連忙問道:“你笑什么?”

  老和尚回答道:“您老人家固然清閑了半天,可是我老和尚卻已經(jīng)忙了整整三天!”
