In a Japanese town, in its middle age
|
|
|
There was a monk named 'Siro'
|
|
|
Hi! You must be Monk Siro, right?
|
I heard that you are a wise man
And I want to know how a man can be happy
|
|
|
|
|
Well, young friend, I will teach you
|
But, before that, you need to do something
|
|
|
Go to the market and buy the juciest and biggest watermelon
|
And bring it to the temple without falling it on the ground
.....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You see, it is simple to be happy
|
It is just like carrying a giant watermelon
|
Carrying it with care but light foot
|
If you feel light and keep smiling,
|
You could feel happy even in the most difficult moment.
