Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Four monks decided to meditate silently without speaking for two weeks. By nightfall on the first day, the candle began to flicker and then went out. The first monk said, " Oh, no! The candle is out. " The second monk said, " Aren't we not suppose to talk? " The third monk said, " Why must you two break the silence? " The fourth monk laughed and said, " Ha! I'm the only one who didn't speak.
