Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese

　When the group of begging monks had to make a long trip, they made one donkey bring all of their things.。

　However, one day, the donkey died of exhaustion.

　Then, the monks skinned the donkey and made drums out of his skin. They beat the drum while they walked.

　They met another group of begging monks.

“What happened to your donkey?”

“He died, but look, he is still beaten by us. It is just like when he was alive.”



　Even humans don not like to work under cruel bosses.

　They will use you to do their errands even after work.
