Master: Xian』er, how come you dress like this?
Xian』er: I am trying to imitate and learn from the Buddhist patriarchs.
Master: How about I tell you a story?
Xian』er: That’s fantastic! Great!
Master: Once upon a time, there was a mouse who was very scared of cats.
Master: It turned to a master for help. The master was quite compassionate, so he transformed him into a cat.
Master: But it was afraid of dogs very much.
Master: So the master turned it into a dog.
Master: But it dreaded tigers.
Master: So the master transformed it into a tiger.
Master: But since it was still in terror of cats, it asked the master again for help.
Xian』er: Haha, this story sounds very funny.
Master: Master said to it, 「I can change your body, but cannot change your mind.」
Xian』er: Too bad! I was again ... by Master.
