265. the branch

the tyger came to kill the guru.

the guru stared him in the eyes and said, “i know that you are going to kill me. but first, will you rip a branch off that tree?”

the tyger did.

“now,” the guru said, “will you put it back?”

the tyger looked at the tree and saw that this was impossible. in that moment, the tyger was #zenlightened.

meanwhile, the guru was running away.
