Once upon a time a man became a great archer(射手)．He asked the king to declare
him as the greatest archer of the country．The king was about to do so when an old
servant of the king said，“Wait，sir．I know an old man who lives in the forest．He is a
much greater archer．Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three
years．”
The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him，but he
went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him．Then one
day, when he thought he had learned everything，the thought arose in him：“If I kill this
old man，then 1 will be the greatest archer．”
The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood On his
shoulder．The young man hid behind a tree，waiting to kill him．He shot an arrow．The
old man took a small piece of wood and threw it．It struck the arrow and the arrow
turned back and wounded the young man very deeply．The old man came，took Out the
arrow and said。“I knew that some day or other you were going to do this．That’s why
I have not taught you this secret．There is no need to kill me．My Master is still alive，
and I’m nothing before him．You must be with him for at least thirty years．And he is
very old, so go fast! Find the old man!”
