PROFIT AND HEREACY
A GROUP of the countries most respected monks sat in
g ripe charrry orchards discusing the various pros and cons
of book learning as oppossed to the more d'rect methods
of learning. They sat in a large circle with a massive bo-
-wl of cherries placed in the center of them. It was the
custom that each time one spoke a handfull of cherries
could be consumed by that person. . .Therefore those that
spoke most:ate most cherries.
A most greedy and fat monk had just come to the end of a
long and engorging discourse on how knowledge not action
would be the only thing remembered of the 20th century.
His words had taken the best part of the morning and now
the bowl was almost empty. The last monk to speak, one
who the others knew very little about was now faced with
two half rotten cherries in the still massive bowl.This
•monk was secretly a member of an opposing ideology and
had infiltrated the group to promote knowlegde of a more
direct nature. Standing up as if to speak he took the bible
in his hands and turned to a page carfull^ selected while
the others preparded themselves for a prayer heads bowed.
Instead of speaking the monk riped out a page of the book
and began to spread it thickly with butter from a pot he had
brought with him. He screamed at the top of his voice the
word " eggs " and then procnsed to eat the page making faces
as if consuming a slice of bread with honey. Then to concl-
-ude his statement he began to chop down the tree they had
been sitting under stuffing fallen bunches of the cherries
into his mouth while making animal noises.
The others had to conclude that action was indeed superior
to book knowledge and the monk was made leader of the
9roup from then on.
