YOU ARE NOT A MONK


YOU ARE NOT A MONK..
A man was driving down the road and his
car 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 sound.
The next morning, he asks the monks
what the sound was, but they say, "We
can't tell you. 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,
even fix his car.
That night, he hears the same strange
noise that he had heard years earlier.
The next morning, he asks what it is, but
the monks reply, "We can't tell you.
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 monks reply, "You must travel the
earth and tell us how many blades of
grass there are and the exact number of
sand pebbles. When you find these
numbers, you will become a monk."
The man sets about his task.
Some 45 years later, he returns and
knocks on the door of the monastery.
He says, "I have traveled the earth and
have found what you have asked for.
There are 145,236,284,232 blades of
grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand
pebbles on the earth."
The monks reply,

"Congratulations. You
are now a monk. We shall now show you
the way to the sound."
The monks lead the man to a wooden
door where the head monk says, "The
sound is right behind that door."
The man reaches for the knob, but the
door is locked.
He says, "Real funny. May I have the
key?"
The monks give him the key, and he
opens the door.
Behind the wooden door is another door
made of stone.
The man demands 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.
So it went until the man had gone
through doors of emerald,
silver,
topaz,
and amethyst.
Finally, the monks say, "This is the last
key to the last door."
The man is relieved to know the end.
He unlocks the door turns the knob and behind
that door, he is amazed to find the source of that
strange sound
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
. . . .
But I can't tell you what it is because you're not
a monk.
Don't be angry at me... I am Also looking for the
guy who sent me this...lolZzz
