The Master Abbot affectionately looked at his young disciple and said, "Yes, it's time to travel to other places."
The young monk puffed out his cheeks, showing his displeasure. "Master, I don't want to leave."
The abbot asked patiently, "Why don't you want to leave?"
Pouting, the young monk shared his thoughts. "It's nice here. There's delicious food, fun things to do, and kids my age. I'm so happy I've forgotten about home."
The abbot couldn't help but smile at his disciple's use of the phrase 'so happy I've forgotten about home.' "Who taught you that phrase?"
The young monk, holding chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other, took a bite of rice before answering, "Benefactor Qingyan taught me."
The disciple seemed to get along well with everyone. The abbot, calm and composed, suggested, "How about we come back here again in the future?"
