soup samsara
12 03 2005There once lived a prince.
Since birth, he had never said a word, so everyone thought he was a mute. One night when he was 13, the prince was having soup for dinner. After a spoonful, he suddenly stopped and said, “The soup is too salty!”
Everyone was in shock. They asked, “Why haven’t you said anything before?”
The prince replied, “Well, everything’s been perfect until now!”
