"I am in desperate need of help -- or I'll go crazy. We're living in a single room -- my wife, my children and my in-laws. So our nerves are on edge, we yell and scream at one another. The room is a hell."
"Do you promise to do whatever I tell you?" said the Master gravely.
"I swear I shall do anything."
"Very well. How many animals do you have?"
"A cow, a goat and six chickens."
"Take them all into the room with you. Then come back after a week."
The disciple was appalled. But he had promised to obey! So he took the animals in. A week later he came back, a pitiable figure, moaning, "I'm a nervous wreck. The dirt! The stench! The noise! We're all on the verge of madness!"
"Go back," said the Master, "and put the animals out."
The man ran all the way home. And came back the following day, his eyes sparkling with joy. "How sweet life is! The animals are out. The home is a Paradise, so quiet and clean and roomy!"
“我非常需要帮助——或者我会疯的。我们生活在一个房间里——我的妻子,我的孩子和我的法律。我们整天神经兮兮,我们互相大喊大叫。房间是地狱。
“你答应按我说的去做吗?大师一本正经地说。
“我发誓我会做任何事。
“好的,你有多少动物吗?
“一头奶牛,一头山羊和六只鸡。
“把它们全带到你的房间。一个星期之后再回来。
门徒大吃一惊。但他已经承诺服从!所以他把动物。一个星期后他回来了,可怜的人物,呻吟着,“我很紧张。污垢!恶臭!噪声!我们就要发疯了!
“回去吧,大师说,“把动物了。
这个男人跑回家。第二天回来时,他的眼里闪烁着喜悦的光芒。生活是多么美好!动物们都离开了。家是一个天堂,那么安静,干净和宽敞的!
