6389. A good disciple
A bad disciple will tryTo please his Master in one way,
Hoping his Master
Will please him in nine ways.
A clever disciple will try
To please his Master in nine ways,
Hoping his Master will forgive him
For not pleasing him in the tenth way.
A good disciple will prepare himself
To please his Master in every way,
And he will succeed!
