The Moon Cannot Be Stolen
Ryokan, a Zen master, lived the simplest
kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain.
One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover
there was nothing in it to steal. Ryokan returned and caught him. "You may
have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler, "and you should not return empty-handed.
Please take my clothes as a gift."
The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away.
Ryokan sat naked, watching the moon. "Poor
fellow," he mused, "I wish I could give him this beautiful moon."
