NAME:
One day, a saint and his followers stopped by a lake full of fish. The saint began to fill his mouth with live fish. The followers were perplexed by this, but they began to do what their master was doing.
Then, without saying a word, the saint began to move and stopped by a lake that had no fish. There, he knelt at the edge of the lake and began to pull live fish out of his mouth and release them into the lake.
When the followers tried to do the same, they found that all the fish they had kept in their mouths were dead! Seeing this, the saint said:
– How could you blindly follow what I had done? None of you thought to ask me first if I had swallowed some water to keep the fish alive in my mouth? Please remember to use the intelligence you were blessed with!
