the story of mogwai..

a novice asked mogwai the old a fearful monster where to find enlightenment.
mogwai replied, "enlightenment is to be found in the well beyond the river katrien, on the east border of the village."

the novice was joyous, for he considered himself blessed by mogwai's favor. he set off for the well, and soon found it beyond the river katrien. there he drank handfuls of water for one whole day, but felt no more enlightened than before.

disappointed, he lay down by the well for the night. when he awoke to the eastern sun the next morning, he filled himself again with the magical water. he continued for the entire day. the sun had nearly fallen behind the opposite edge of the village, and he felt no wiser. so he arose and returned to mogwai.

"you told me enlightenment could be found in the well on the east border of the village, yet i found nothing," said the novice.

"yes," said mogwai, "that is where enlightenment is to be found. but the process is difficult."

"master mogwai," pleaded the novice, "what is the process?"

mogwai spoke, "it begins deep inside the well. you must drink one handful of water whenever you thirst. for each handful of water you take from the well, you must replace it with another handful from the river katrien. only when you have drunk the well dry will you have found true enlightenment."
