A monk, taking a bamboo stick, said to the people,
"If you call this a stick, you fall into the trap of words,
but if you do not call it a stick, you contradict facts.
So what do you call it?"

At that time a monk in the assembly came forth.
He snatched the stick, broke it in two, and threw the pieces
across the room.
