Classic inspirational story: picking water and digging wells

Inspirational sentiment: Survival in this world, we must have the idea of ​​precautions and peace of mind, so as to ensure that there is often "water" to drink.
There are two monks living in the temples on two adjacent hills. There is a small stream between the two mountains. Therefore, the two monks will meet each other when they go down the mountain to pick up the water in the early morning. They will say hello to each other. Over time, they became good friends.
Day after day, year after year. In this way, they had five years of unconsciously meeting each other under the mountain and mountain. Suddenly one day, the monk on the left side of the mountain did not go down the mountain to pick up the water. The monk on the right side of the mountain thought: "He probably overslept." "So I didn't care too much, I came back alone."
By the next day, the monk on the left side of the mountain still did not go down the mountain to pick up the water. It was like this for several days. It was the same for a week, and it took a month.
A month later, the monk on the right side of the mountain couldn’t help it anymore. He thought: "My friend may be sick. He is alone in the temple. He is sick and no one cares. It’s a pity. I want to go. Look at him and see what can help." Go and go, take the things you see, climb the mountain on the left, and visit his old friends.
When I went to the temple on the mountain and saw his old friend, I couldn't help but be surprised. Not only did he not get sick, but he also played Taijiquan in front of the temple, and he was alive and well, not like a person who had not drunk for a long time. He felt very curious and asked: "I haven't seen you down the mountain for more than a month. Why do you look like a good spirit? Can you practice drinking Tai Chi without drinking water?" The monk of the mountain smiled and said to him: "Come and come, I will take you to see something."
The monk on the right side of the mountain followed him to the courtyard behind the temple. The monk on the left mountain pointed to a well and said: "In the past five years, after I finished my homework every day, I will take time to dig this well. Even if I am busy, I can I have to dig a lot of water. Now I can finally drink the spring water I have dug. I don’t have to go down the mountain to pick up the water, I can spend more time practicing my favorite Tai Chi."
