Student Blogging Challenge Week 4 Activity 4: “The Wise Monk”

 

 

Long ago, a wise monk had a vision of a rice field with a lot of abundant stalks, yet a lot submerged under the goopy mud that the essential plant grew in. This message signified the people who were in desperate need of food. The people who had access to fresh food and clean water lived normally, which let them grow abundantly, however, the people who were suffering were submerged in the mud and were suffering.

 

He saw a old gaunt derelict lying painfully on the street of a boiling sun. Other peasants started to kick him which lead the monk to go to the vegetable patch to offer him some food which he sympathetically accepted. This made the monk want to assist those who are in need. The next day, he went to Ethipia where hunger is a problem.

The first thing he did he did was see a mom and her child starving and holding a cardboard sign reading, “Please offer money for education.” Not only did he offer them food, but he made a kind offering of money. He then saw a man selling the rest of his supplies for hot meals from its cold neighboring country , Djimata. His cart was very rusty and broke when a cow ran into it, so the monk offered to help him and give him water since he was really dehydrated.

The last thing he did before he left was he started planting food in greenhouse areas since it was too arid to grow things, made a water pump to give them fresh water, and made a treaty with Djimata to stop taxing the country. After that fateful event, the monk pictured a full rice field ready for harvest.
