Once there was wisdom in a village. All villagers paid attention and respect him.
One day, an ox drank water from a pot. After ox drank water, the head of ox was stuck. He could not take his head out of the pot. So the villagers went to the wisdom and asked suggestion what they should do with the ox and pot. The wisdom suggested that to cut the head of the ox. So the villages cut the head of the ox. Simply, the ox died. Nevertheless, the ox’s head was still in the pot.
So the villagers went to the wisdom again and asked what they should do with the pot and ox’s head. The wisdom advised to break the pot. The villagers broke the pot. The ox died and the pot was broken. On that day, each house in the village got about two pounds of fresh beef as the quota. A villager went to the wisdom’s house and gave the cooked beef for dinner. The wisdom got tear in his eyes. The villager was curious why wisdom had tear in his eyes.
The wisdom said, “Um….You guys could have more difficult lives if I am not here.”
(Please take this as you wish as you can.)
