How are you going to take me if you don’t have cash to rent a horse and cart?” The monk answered, “Don’t be fearful. I’ll take you in consolation.”
Scholar: “The grasp is just too outdated to stroll such a good distance. You mentioned that the previous monk wouldn’t take him lest he ought to degrade him. How can the monk take the outdated grasp such a good distance in consolation with out degrading him to a sentient being?”
Grasp: “His going is the grasp’s going.”
