Once there was a wise old man, who is said to have possessed all knowledge of the world. Once came to him a woman and asked him:
- Old man, I want to know everything, teach me all knowledge.
- Okay. - Answered her old man. - Come with me.
And I took in a deep, dark cave, where there are countless thick dusty books.
- When you read all these books, you will have the full knowledge - he told her.
The woman agreed. Day and night, standing in the cave and tirelessly she read, I would read. From time to time the old man passing by the cave, leaning on a heavy cudgel prickly and asked the woman:
- Well, you already know everything?
- Not yet. - She responded.
Then the old man lifted the stick and hit her on the head ... And it was repeated - weeks, months, years ...
One day the old man again walked past the cave and asked the usual question:
- Learn everything you already?
- No more - the woman replied. But when the old man reached for her hit with the stick she took his hand - and frozen with fear in anticipation of the worst - probably the punishment would be too severe.
But the old man smiled broadly:
- Bravo! Now you know everything you need!
- How so? - Surprised woman.
- You knew that I would never have full knowledge of everything. Furthermore, learn how you can stop the pain ...
