The tale of frog

Once upon a time, that had monk who was known as ascetic monk. He avoided from all things relating sex and led himself to follow religious life.
The recent king who had known about him felt so honored. He forced his soldiers built then he invited the monk came and he asked the monk to become abbot. But, the monk denied in polite that he didn’t want to stay in the temple and he prayed the king to let him go sightseeing and came to other temple.
One day, he planned to come a temple in the north to meet a monk who he had never seen for a long time. While time Guanyin who also had heard about the monk wanted to challenge the monk. If the monk passed she will took him to Buddha world.
When the monk is going to cross a river. Guanyin transformed into a beautiful girl who rowed the only one boat. That day, Guanyin made the part of river became solitary that was very little people crossed the river. When the boat was in middle of the river the girl(Guanyin) change boat’s direction came to a wild mudflat. Felt strange the monk went out and asked the girl why she didn’t get to the other side. The girl seemed to wait that asking she smiled naughtily and answered flippantly:
“You are so handsome that I want to have sweet time with you”.
The monk had known that that region had many audacious girls so he said sternly:
“Buddha Amitabha, hope you can disengage me.”
But the girl didn’t disengage him. She sat on place right next to the monk and said sexy words. The monk didn’t any words. He took his Buddhist scripture and started muttering. His voice went more and more loudly that overwhelmed girl’s voice. But the girl still continued laughing then she put her hand on his book. The monk turned his face gave the girl a stern seeing
“Buddha Amitabha, I have a decree which the king gave me. Anyone who dares to be insolent with me will be cut off their head. Hope you understand.”
But the girl seemed to be not frightened. She said:
“I have been ready to die. If I have sweet time with you then die I will never regret.”
But the monk had not changed for along time. The girl started trying another way she started taking off her clothes. One the final plastron flew down the monk closed his eyes, took his robe to cover her body. In the cramped cabin, the monk now was muttering Buddhist scripture while the girl was still talk sweet words as though she was pouring honey into his ears. The monk, in other hand, was still motionless.
Guanyin felt satisfied she thought that people who were like that monk deserved having a position in buddhist land. But she still wanted to make sure she tried more few times. In the ninth time, her hot breath dropped on his cheek, on back of his neck but the monk didn’t move.
In the tenth time, when Guanyin thought that he would still keep his viewpoint the monk, in other hand, broke rules. He touched on the girl’s body by his trembling hands. Therefore, 20 years of religious was broken. Standing in his face now was Guanyin. Guanyin threw hi, down the river as a culm. She transformed him into an animal which was a frog. Now day, whenever we cut frogs’s head it will clap forelegs as though monks were praying.
THE END
