The Monk and the Fly


Something like this is extremely likely to have happened to you.  Have you ever been annoyed by the buzzing of a fly but, whatever you do, you just can’t seem to catch (or swat) the little bugger?  So it is with our monk in this animated short by Matthew Darragh (created with the help of the Irish Film Board).  All he wants to do is a little peaceful outdoors meditation but he is continually interrupted by the fly!

To see how he solves the problem, you will have to watch the animation.  Of course, just when you think you have solved a particular situation, along comes something else to spoil your peace and quiet!
