Transcript

A gambler approached the master,

Distressed,

After being caught cheating at cards and subsequently being beaten up and thrown out of a window.

Seeking advice,

He asked,

What should I do?

The master peered into the gambler's soul and calmly replied,

If I were you,

I would play on the ground floor from now on.

This unexpected response startled the disciples,

Who demanded,

Why didn't you tell him to stop gambling?

The master offered a simple and sensible explanation,

Saying,

Because I knew he would not.
