Guest guest Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 There once was a monastery that was very strict. Following a vow of silence, no one was allowed to speak at all. But there was an exception to this rule. Every ten years, the monks were permitted to speak just only two words. After spending his first ten ten years at the monastery, one monk went to the head monk. " It has been ten years " said the head monk What are the two words you would like to speak? " Bed...hard... " said the monk " I see " replied the head monk Ten years later, the monk returned to the head monk's office. " It has been ten more years, " said the head monk. " What are the two words you would like to speak? " " Food...stinks.... " said tyhe monk " I see, " replied the head monk Yet another ten years passed and the monk again met with the head monk who asked, " What are your two words now, after these ten years? " " I...quit! " said the monk " Well, I can see why, " replied the head monk. " All you ever do is complain " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
