I am in dire need of assistance,
Otherwise I will lose my sanity.
We are cramped into a single room,
My wife,
My children and my in-laws.
The constant closed quarters have freed our nerves,
Leading to endless yelling and screaming.
It feels like we are living in hell.
Are you willing to do exactly as I advise?
" asked the master earnestly.
I honestly swear to do whatever you say,
The disciple replied.
Very well,
How many animals do you own?
Inquired the master.
We have a cow,
A goat and six chickens,
Responded the disciple.
Take all of them inside the room with you,
Then return after a week,
Instructed the master.
Horrified by the thought,
The disciple hesitated.
However,
Bound by his promise,
He gathered the animals and brought them into the room.
A week later he returned,
A pitiful sight,
Lamenting,
I am nervous wreck,
The filth,
The stench,
The constant noise,
We are all on the brink of madness.
Go back,
Said the master,
And remove the animals.
The man rushed home and returned the next day,
His eyes glowing with joy.
Life is blissful now,
The animals are gone,
Our home has transformed into a paradise,
So tranquil,
Clean and spacious.
