/ Before he became a hermit, Zarathud \
| was a young Priest, and |
| |
| took great delight in making fools of |
| his opponents in front of his |
| followers. |
| |
| One day Zarathud took his students to a |
| pleasant pasture and there he |
| confronted The Sacred Chao while She |
| was contentedly grazing. |
| |
| "Tell me, you dumb beast," demanded the |
| Priest in his commanding voice, "why |
| don't you do something worthwhile? What |
| is your Purpose in Life, anyway?" |
| |
| Munching the tasty grass, The Sacred |
| Chao replied "MU". (The Chinese |
| ideogram for NO-THING.) |
| |
| Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody |
| was enlightened. |
| |
| Primarily because nobody understood |
| Chinese. |
