The Little Monk (ll)

The little monk picked up the pieces of paper from the floor. Then he washed his hands and face as well as his clothes time after time.

"What are you up to? You've wasted half a day's time washing this and that!", the old master said.

"I have a phobia for dirt! I just cannot tolerate! Have you noticed that? Everytime any guest leaves, I'll wipe the seat he or she just sat."

"You call yourself an automysophobic person!? You hate this place and that place dirty, this person and that person dirty. Although you look clean outside, you're sick inside your heart. You can't say that you're clean."

(Note: automysophobia(noun) - a morbid fear of being dirty

automysophobic (adj)
