In the field, they worked from early dawn. Many monks of different blood. Breaking clods of earth with sticks, they prepared the soil for planting, knowing that what you plant is what you reap. The old lesson is all clear, so what? One day, on an ordinary day. One of the monks, the others are more fun. He stood up and thought about something, as if the work was some kind of trifle. At that moment the abbot came and approached this monk. And he asks - How dare he Suffer from idleness when there is so much to do? The monk in response says to the old man: Listen, venerable one, I’ll tell you what. He who has no business will never suffer from idleness. You are always insolent - the abbot shouts! He pulled out the stick that was standing nearby. Inoka beats with a heavy, hard rock stick and amuses the people. The monk did not want to endure blows, so he got hold of the venerable man’s stick. His eyes, slightly squinting at the light, he began to hit the abbot in response. The monks, seeing the evil going on here, knocked the stick out of his hands. And to the abbot, how dare he? You are the Abbot, and he is out of work! But the abbot did not listen to them. Again he took that stick in his hands. And he began to walk away from all the monks, And to say - This is laughter! You are where you are now! What happened is none of your business!!!
