One Buddhist, tired of meditation, decided to take a walk and saw a shepherd standing in the middle of a flock of sheep.
- What beautiful sheep you have, can I ask you about them?
“Of course,” answered the shepherd.
— How far do your sheep walk every day?
-Which ones, black or white?
- White.
— White sheep walk about four kilometers a day.
- And the black ones?
- The same amount.
— How much grass do they eat per day?
-Which ones, black or white?
- White.
— White sheep eat about four kilos of grass a day.
- And the black ones?
- The same amount.
— How much wool do they produce annually?
-Which ones, black or white?
- White.
“White sheep produce about three kilograms of wool a year when we shear them.
- And the black ones?
- The same amount.
- Yeah. — the Buddhist was intrigued. - Tell me, why do you divide your sheep into white and black in such a strange way when answering my questions?
“You see,” answered the shepherd, “this is quite natural.” The white sheep just belong to me.
- Yeah! What about the black ones?
- Me too...
