If the temple should need further construction work and this same laymen is asked for his help again, the layman may politely decline by saying that business right now is not good, asking the temple to wait. However, if the layman is a person of honest and frank disposition, then he may reply, "why are you asking for more, you can't even look after the one you already have. There is trash everywhere." Therefore, as you can imagine, it would be very embarrassing for monks to have to ask for help in that manner.
