my "2 cents": Each one represents certain aspects within the cycle of existence.(examples: greed, impatience, anger, etc). This causes them to distance from their altar; (the representation of the Alpha-Omega). In other words, they became distracted from their inner truth. Well, this cyclic pain can't be tolerated forever, and so through the chaotic mouse (which I feel represents suffering), the end of a cycle manifests. The house of mind they dwelt in finally transformed through the light of knowing (the fire) , and stood unscathed, like a phoenix birthing anew. Yet, within the temple remained the figure of The Almighty. When the monks realize that fetching the water was swift when the heart is compassionate and driven by love, it changed their lives forever. They began to live in harmony, enjoying life, and sharing love. ❤❤❤
Yeah, I'm doing this for research. It was referenced in a book on the history of animation. This is a soviet era animation made in 1980 by Chinese animator A. Da.
Wow, this is exceptional.. and the bgm is also very reflective content.. any know who did the music for this? or any cast/crew details for this?! also what is written in the end in Chinese?! PS: I especially like the naughty mouse music at 15:06
Moral of the story, the more people there r the lazier we r going to be..... According to Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Monks : Once upon a time, there was a young monk lives a simple life in a temple on top of a hill. He has one daily task of hauling two buckets of water up the hill. One day, a skinny monk arrives. The young monk tries to share the job with the skinny monk, but the carry pole is only long enough for one bucket. So, they decided to carry one bucket in the center. But when they go up and down hill, the bucket moves. The weight was not even to them both, so they argued a lot. A few days after, a fat monk joined them. The fat monk drank all the water! Then the other two monks wanted the fat monk to bring the two buckets of water up. But as soon as the fat monk brought the water up, he drank it all again. At this point, everyone expects that someone else will take on the chore. Consequently, no one fetches water though everybody is thirsty. One night, a rat comes to scrounge and then knocks the candle holder, leading to a devastating fire in the temple. The three monks finally unite and make a concerted effort to put out the fire. Since then they understand the old saying "unity is strength" and begin to live a harmonious life. The three monks made a pulley, that will help fetching water easily. The temple never lacks water again.
My grandma worked on this animation!!

I read a slightly different variation of this, and the moral they said was: Only unity and cooperation can overcome hard times.
Also socialism will always fail in the end
the moral tells make good use of public resources. if people start being selfish, it will run out.
i read the version where the 3 monks did not think of a good idea. this time i finally found a version that they figured a plan
For everyone who doesn’t know: This is an old Chinese cartoon called “Three Monks”, made in 1962.
it is made in 1980.
