One day Woonahm was sweeping the yard with a broom. Seeing him sweeping the yard, Do-oh said to him, “How diligent you are!” Woonahm said, “You should know that there is one that is not diligent.” Do-oh responded, “Then, there is a second moon.” Woonahm, holding out the broom, said, “What number moon is this?”
Student: “Who is one that is not diligent?”
Master: “He is not lazy, either.”
Student: “What number moon is the broom that Woonahm held out?”
Master: “How many moons are there?”
Commentary:
Calamity never comes alone.
