I look up from the book I was reading. "Wow! Did you know a leach has a three-jawed mouth, two hearts, two circulatory systems, five pairs of eyes, 32 brains, and 10 stomachs?"
Chung Tzu sits there, to let it all sink in.
"Amazing! And you thought you were special!" says Stove Parts.

I meet Broken Pot in a tavern. Broken Pot gets drunk.
"You have the ability to be a drunk, how can you stop drinking?" says Broken Pot.
We walk to the highest hill. It is cold and late, the moon is high above us. The wind blows through us so our teeth chatter.
"By discarding all thinking. By discarding all ideas of good or bad towards drinking."
We walk back to the tavern. By the time we get back, Broken Pot is sober.
