Here Comes the Little Monk

Once upon a time, there was a mountain. On the mountain stood a temple, and in the temple lived a monk who didn't abstain from meat or alcohol.

One day, the old monk caught the aroma of wine and meat. He clapped his hands, laughed heartily, and headed down the mountain.

The Xiao family at the foot of the mountain was celebrating their son's one-month birthday with a banquet. The old monk arrived uninvited and grinned at the little baby in his swaddling clothes. "Amitabha. A spiritual pearl has descended into this dusty mortal world. I'll enjoy your feast today, and one day I'll repay you with a good turn!"
