BASICS: THERE ARE INFINITELY MANY WAYS TO CHANGE BUT ONLY ONE WAY TO STAY THE SAME | nationalsalvation.net
Each day, a boy from the north temple passes a boy from the south temple as they go their ways to run chores for the monks. They have a little rivalry going. One day the south temple boy asks the north temple boy, "Where are you going?" The north temple boy answered, "Wherever my feet take me". The south temple boy couldn't think of a good comeback for this one, so he told his master what happened. "The next time he answers you thus, ask him what he would do if he had no feet".
The next day, the boys met going opposite directions again, and the south temple boy asked, "Where are you going?" "Wherever the wind blows me," answered the north temple boy. The south temple boy couldn't think of a good comeback for this one, so he told his master what happened. "The next time he answers you thus, ask him what he would do if there were no wind," counseled the temple master.
The next day, the boys met again, and the south temple boy asked, "Where are you going?" "To town to buy vegetarian food for the monks," answered the north temple boy.
