Beat this
This has really a great suspense...!!!!!
Read it carefully to know what it is...
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?
the monks
graciously accept him, feed him dinner
,
even fix his car
.
As the man tries to fall asleep
,
he hears a very 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 again fixes his car
.
That night
,
he hears the same strange noise t
hat
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
,
years later, he
returns and knocks on the door of the monastery
.
He says,
I have traveled 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 know that he has finally reached to the end
.
He unlocks the door
,
turns the knob,
and
behind that door he is amazed
to
find the source of that strange sound.
