The Codeless Code: Case 158 Monday, Monday
======
On Monday a monk was sent to master Kaimu to inquire, “What
is the greatest peril of caching?”
Kaimu answered, “Monday is my busiest day. Ask again
tomorrow and I will teach you all I know.”
On Tuesday the monk returned and asked the same question.
Kaimu answered, “Monday is my busiest day. Ask again
tomorrow and I will teach you all I know.”
Qi’s commentary
If the monk had asked a different question, he would have
learned nothing.
Qi’s poem
Eku asked why Mugen was rude to the shopkeeper.
Mugen said: That shopkeeper once sold me a broken shovel.
Eku dumped a bucket of water on Mugen’s head—
She explained: Last year my house was on fire.
