the novice monk who rescued the ants
小和尚還不到受戒年齡，就叫做“沙彌”。
a little monk who is not old enough to get ordained is called a novice monk.
從前有個小沙彌，他跟著一個極有智慧的師父學習佛教。他是一個好學生，恭敬、誠懇、聽話，而且學得很快。
once there was a novice monk who studied buddhism with a very wise teacher. he was a very good student. he was respectful, sincere, and obedient. he learned very quickly.
這個師父很有智慧，能夠預知未來。從一開始他就知道他的小徒弟活不了多久。有一天，他掐算出自己的徒兒只有七天的壽命了，就感到非常難過。
