    Default Monks

    A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a

    monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and

    says, My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?

    Keep scrolling down to unveil the

    Suspense......................)



    The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner,

    and even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he

    hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks

    what the sound was, but they say, We can't tell you. You're

    not a monk.













    The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and

    goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man

    breaks down in front of the same monastery.















    The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix

    his car.















    That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had

    heard years earlier.

















    The next morning, he asks what it is, but the monks

    reply, We can't tell you. You're not a monk.

















    The man says, All right, all right. I'm dying to know.

    If the only way I can find out what that sound was, is to

    become a monk, how do I become a monk?















    The monks reply, You must travel the earth and

    tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact

    number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you

    will become a monk.















    The man sets about his task. Some forty-five years

    later, he returns and knocks on the door of the

    monastery. He says, I have travelled the earth and have

    found what you have asked for. There are 145,236,284,232

    blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on

    the earth.













    The monks reply, Congratulations. You are now a monk. We

    shall now show you the way to the sound.



















    The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head

    monk says, The sound is right behind that door.

















    The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked.

    He says, Real funny. May I have the key?















    The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.















    Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone.

    The man demands the key to the stone door.















    The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to

    find a door made of ruby.. He demands another key from the

    monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door,

    this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man had gone

    through doors of emerald,....













    ......silver, topaz, and amethyst.















    Finally, the monks say, This is the last key to the last door.













    The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door,

    turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find

    the source of that strange sound.















    But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

    You have to repeat the monks oath to be a proper monk.
    Its in a long forgotten language, repeat it 10 times.
