Three Monks is a Chinese animated feature film which was screened in the POM class to make students realise the importance of “TEAMWORK”.
Plot
The first monk takes all the burden on himself, for there is no one to fall back upon. He fetches two cans of water at a time and runs a self sufficient system. Another monk joins the monastery and now the burden of fetching two buckets of water is shared. But eventually, differences set in and there is a heated argument between the two.
Then a third monk arrives. He is plump and drains all of the water. When the time comes to refill the water, he relents. Now the other two monks who have been doing their work religiously start fighting too and everything comes to a standstill. In the quest of claiming their superiority, the result is all three of them are deprived of water.
One night, a rat accidently knocks the candleholder, leading to a devastating fire in the temple. In this time of crisis, the three monks finally unite together and make a combined effort to put out the fire. This makes them realize that "unity is strength" and thus they chalk out a plan to distribute the work equally in fetching buckets of water. Thereafter, the temple never lacks water again.
Below is the video of the above narrated story:
