An's Seed
The master gave Ben, Jing, and An one dormant lotus seed each. Ben ran off to look for a hoe and buried his seed in the snow-covered ground. Jing chose the best flowerpot and compost. An led his everyday life as usual, waiting patiently until spring came. Simple text and appealing pictures illustrate the story of the three young monks' activities simultaneously to provide interesting pictures of their different personalities. Best shared one-on-one.
