  "Since we are here," the diplomat said,"we can at least look around." So the couple took a walk around the temple.While looking at the sculptures(雕塑) in one of the buildings,the diplomat and his wife met a monk.This was the head monk of the temple.After finding out that the diplomat and his wife were Americans,the monk asked the couple if they would do something to help the temple.
