A young man has decided to become a monk and the abbot asks him:
“Are you sure? It’s a very hard life: you can say two words every two years”, and he accepts.
Thus two years pass and the young friar says: “Cold food”;
another two years go by and he says: “Read hard”,
and so after two years he says again: “I’m leaving”,
and the abbot: “Go, go ahead, you’ve done nothing but complain!”.
