Two monks passed by a village and saw a group of children tormenting a poor cat by throwing he cat into the pond, pulled the rope on his neck and, dragged it repeatedly. After a short while, the little cat was dying and kept silent like a tomb stone. On one hand, the old monk sat on the ground and recited sutras for the cat, on the other hand, the young monk took a few pence and bought the cat. After grabbing the money, children cheerfully ran away. The young monk said happily to the master that he saved the cat’s life and it was a good thing, but his master closed his eyes and said, “I'm afraid that you may not be able to save the cat’s life.” The young monk looked at the little cat carefully and found that it closed its eyes with large belly like a stone block, and bloody water gushed out from its nose. The young monk couldn’t help dropping tears and begged his master to save the cat. But the old monk said he was also helpless too! At that time, an old woman walked towards to them slowly. Upon seeing the cat, she lifted a stick to beat the young monk and cursed him, “Do you kill my cat? How can you do such evil things?” The young monk hurled himself down on the ground with his hands over his head and said, “I didn’t kill the cat, instead, I saved it just now.” The old woman became angrier and tried to beat him to death. Upon seeing that, the young monk shouted his master and hid behind him. Unexpectedly, the old monk also didn't protest, instead, he just closed his eyes, sat erectly like a monument and prayed for him. Finally, the old woman bowed to pick up the dead cat, cried loudly and left sadly. Then the young monk followed the old monk back to the temple. He couldn’t keep calm any more, so he asked the old monk, “Master, I was accused innocently, but why didn’t you say a word for me?” The old monk answered indifferently, “Was it useful to argue with the old woman?” The young said, “Maybe it is useless, but we should make our every effort to protect us. The children are really hateful and this old lady is confused. I did good things but was treated unjustly.” The old monk said calmly, “it is wrong! We should do things according to our natural conscience but never ask for others’ gratitude in return.” In short, as a professional business E-platform of promoting stone industry, we match global supply and demand resources and promote the mutual prosperity and development for worldwide stone industry trade.
