In Place of a Foreword
Once Zhuangzi had a dream that he was a butterfly.
He was very upset in the morning. His friends were surprised by such state of the Master and asked him:
“What happened? We’ve never seen you so much upset”.
Zhuangzi responded:
“I’m puzzled, I’m at a loss, I can’t understand. At night I had a dream that I was a butterfly”.
One of his friends laughed and said:
“Nobody is ever worried about their dreams. When you wake up your dream disappears. Why are you worried about it?”
“The matter is not about it, – Zhuangzi replied. – I’m puzzled now: if Zhuangzi can be a butterfly in his dreams, maybe a butterfly probably has a dream that it’s Zhuangzi”.
From “Zhuangzi” Taoist treatise.
Prologue
Tusks of black cliffs and caves stupid grin
People among the mountains negligible
It creeps up, it clings to snow,
For fog and water fast flowing rivers.
…Cracked rock and the avalanche went down
And claimed it as a grain of sand
Ariya band, “Tusks of black cliffs”.
But wanted I to tell you not about that how dangerous is to climb mountains high…
Episode 1
The Great Discoverer
Once Fox saw a movie about treasure hunters. And it dawned on him that in fact it was not necessary to work to get rich: it’s enough to find more gold and sell it more expensively. And that’s all! Haha!
He decided to become a gold digger. But here’s the tough luck: where and how to find gold? Well, he put on a hat with wide brims and slots for the ears on his head and went to the Magpie. He knows, in fact, that she loves, a rogue, sparkling things, no doubt, and she can tell where to find a gold.
“Hey, do you hear me, Magpie, here is your golden ring on your finger. Tell me, where did you get it?”
“My husband gave it to me.”
“And the golden necklace?”
“I’ve exchanged with a Jackdaw for pearls. Do not bother me, I’m resting.”
“Listen, Magpie, here you have golden cufflinks on your wings, I want like these to myself too, how to get them?
“Why are you haunting me? Gold and gold…”
“I want to learn how to mine gold, so I ask, where do you get gold?”
“What is there to ask? Keep close to people … “she said, and flew away, displeased with the disturbed rest.
