In a hermitage, there is a teacher who is highly respected because it is firm and honest. One day, two disciples facing him. He explained how they had a big fight and almost got a physical battle. Both are arguing about the count of 3 x 7. clever student says the results 21. foolishly student adamantly says the result 27. The stupid disciple challenges the clever student to ask the teacher as his juror to know who is right among them.
Said the stupid disciple, "If I am true 3 x 7 = 27 then you should be whipped 10 times by our teacher, but if you correct that 3 x 7 = 21 then I am willing to chop my own head ha ha ha !" said this stupid disciple dare to challenge so.
He is very confident in his opinion. "Tell the teacher, which one is right ?" asked stupid disciples, understand not really understand about the count and only because of trivial to ignore the big risks in front of him. The Master thinks,
Apparently wisely, the teacher sentominate a whip 10 times for a clever student (the one who answered 21). The clever student was clearly protesting loudly afterward. The teacher replied, "This punishment is not for your count, but since you are not wise, Duh ... is willing to argue with a fool who does not know if 3x7 is 21 !" He continued,
"better to see you whipped and be wise than to have seen a life wasted in vain! .. Let me explain to him the truth about it so there is no misunderstanding."
