Once a monk came to a city protected by gates. A soldier who was guarding the gates interrogated him, “Who are you? Where are you going? Why are you going there? “

The monk grew pensive for a moment and then asked the soldier, “Could I ask you a question too?”

The soldier wondered, “What is it?”

“What do you earn for one week’s work?”

“Two baskets of rice.”

“I will bring you four baskets if you ask me these questions every day!”

有一次，一位和尚正步行到有城门保护的城市。 守在城门的士兵审问他：“你是谁？ 你要去哪里？ 你为什么要去那里？”

和尚沉思片刻，问士兵：“我也可以问你一个问题吗？”

士兵疑惑：“怎么了？”

“你一周工作能赚多少钱？”

“两筐米饭。”

“你每天问我这些问题，我就给你带四筐！”
