Q. Why doesn’t the tail go through?

Q. Why doesn’t the tail go through?

Goso asked, “A water buffalo goes out of its enclosure. The head, the horns, and the four legs go through, but why doesn’t the tail, too?”

Student: “Why doesn’t the tail go through?”
Master: “Because you are holding it firmly now.”

Commentary:
What a poor fellow!
He is worried about the buffalo’s tail, not knowing that he is holding it.
He is laughing at his own reflection in the mirror.
