Three mice are chatting. Mouse 1 says, "Every morning, I exercise with the mouse trap to keep fit..."
Mouse 2 responds, "Well, I usually mix mouse bait with milk every morning for alertness..."
The third mouse immediately takes out its phone and says, "Hey cat, at 10 Trang Thi street, wait for me, our gang will come for some drinks..." The other two mice are left puzzled.
A young man came to seek apprenticeship with a deity.
At that moment, a piglet emerged from the mud puddle, covered in dirt and filth.
The deity said to the young man, "Clean it up for me."
The young man was surprised, "Aren't I here to learn, not to herd pigs?"
The deity replied, "If you can't diligently obey, how can you become my disciple?"
Be willing to do even the dirty, muddy work, not just theoretical learning. That's how you avoid getting stained by the mud, as taught by the deity.
