algy Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sensual, exotic and yet mesmerizing sound; a sound like no other that he has ever heard. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, We can't tell you because you're not a monk.The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery.The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix his car..That night, he hears the same strange, sensual, exotic and yet mesmerizing sound that he had heard years earlier.The next morning, he asks what the sound was, but the monks reply,We can't tell you because you're not a monk.The man says, all right, all right. I'm dying to know.If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?The monk replies, you must travel the earth and fulfill this dificult quest, the monk passes the man a 1000 page list of almost immpossible tasks to carry out , when you have completed these tasks, you will be qualifed to join our brotherhood as a monk.The man sets about his task. Some twenty years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, I have travelled the earth and devoted my life to the task demanded and have found what you had asked for, here are my answers.The monks tells the man to go to a room where he must wait for his return, three days later the monk returns and congratulates the man, telling him that he has successfully completed the tasks set for him and that he has been accepted by the brotherhood as a monk. If you still wish to find the source of the sound I shall now take you. The monk leads the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, the sound is behind that door.The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He asks, May I have the key please brother ?The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone... The man requests the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire.And so it went on until the man had gone through doors of emerald,......silver ............ ................ ............. gold ............... ............. ............... ....topaz............ ................ ............. ............... ............. and amethyst. ................... Finally, the monks say, This is the key to the last door ..The man is relieved to be at the end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is astonished to find the source of that strange sound. It is truly an amazing and unbelievable sight, a sight so pleasurable that he could never have imagined even in his wildest dreams, ............ ................ ............. ............... ............. Prepare yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ............ ................ ............. ............... ............. .. But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
