The 3 monks

Three monks turned their back on the world. They go into the wilderness to repent their sins before God. They did not speak to one another for the space of a year. Then one of the men said to another at the end of the year, "We are well," said he. Thus it was for another year. "It is well indeed," said the second man. They were there after that for another year. "I swear by my habit," said the third man, "if you do not allow me some quiet I will abandon the wilderness entirely to you!".
