Monastery Sounds by Bevy12(f): 11:54pm On Aug 22, 2015 |
A man is driving down
the road and breaks
down
near a monastery. He
goes to the monastery,
knocks on the door, and
says, “My car broke
down. Do you think I
could stay the night?”
The
monks graciously
accept him, feed him
dinner,
even fix his car. As the
man tries to fall asleep,
he hears a very strange
sound. The next
morning,
he asks the monks
what the sound was,
but they
say, “We can’t tell you.
You’re not a monk.”
The man is
disappointed but
thanks them anyway
and goes about his
merry way. Some years
later,
The same man breaks
down in front of the
same
monastery. The monks
again accept him, feed
him, and again fix his
car. That night, he
hears
the same strange noise
that he had heard years
earlier. The next
morning, he asks what
it is, but
the monks reply, “We
can’t tell you. You’re not
a
monk.”
The man says, “All
right, all right. I’m dying
to
know. If the only way I
can find out what that
sound was is to
become a monk, how
do I
become a monk?”
The monks reply, “You
must travel the earth
and
tell us how many
blades of grass there
are and
the exact number of
sand pebbles, when you
find
these numbers, you will
become a monk.”
The man sets about his
task. Some 54 years
later, he returns and
knocks on the door of
the
monastery.
He says, “I have
traveled the earth and
have
found what you have
asked for. There are
145,236,284,232
blades of grass and
231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles
on the
earth.”
The monks reply,
“Congratulations. You
are now a
monk. We shall now
show you the way to
the
sound.”
The monks lead the
man to a wooden door
where
the head monk says,
“The sound is right
behind
that door.” The man
reaches for the knob,
but the
door is locked.
He says, “Real funny.
May I have the key?”
The
monks give him the
key, and he opens the
door.
Behind the wooden door
is another door made of
stone.
The man demands the
key to the stone door.
The
monks give him the
key, and he opens it,
only to
find a door made of
ruby. He demands
another
key from the monks,
who provide it.
Behind that door is
another door, this one
made
of sapphire, And so it
went until the man had
gone through doors of
emerald, silver, topaz,
and
amethyst.
Finally, the monks say,
“This is the last key to
the
last door.”
The man is relieved to
know that he has
finally
reached to the end .
He unlocks the door,
turns the knob, and
behind
that door he is amazed
to find the source of
that
strange sound.
BUT HE CAN’T TELL YOU
WHAT IT IS BECAUSE
YOU ARE NOT A MONK!!! |
