Wisdom

The master gathered his students in the shade of a fig tree and bid them ask any question. After much consideration, one novice asked, “What if a panda were to mate with a polar bear?”

The master sat in contemplation. After some time, another novice offered, “Perhaps, a pandola bear cub?”

The novices nodded in agreement, until the master cleared his throat and said, “You are as children. The offspring of the union means nothing. What matters is front row seats to the conception.”

A leaf fell from the fig tree and settled in the master’s lap.
