A man is driving down the road. His car breaks down near a monastery. He
goes to the monastery and says, "My car broke down. Could I stay here for
the night?"
The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car. As
the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound; a sound like no
other that he has ever heard. The next morning, he asks the monks what the
sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you because you're not a monk."
The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his way
merry. Some years later, as luck would have it, as if by some divine
intervention, the same man's car breaks down in front of the same m
onastery.
The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix his car..
That night, he hears the same strange mesmerizing sound that he had heard
years earlier.
More curious, the next morning he asks what the sound was. The monks reply,
"We can't tell you, because you're not a monk."

The man says, "All right, all right, but I'm dying to know. If the only
way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk,
how do I become a monk?"
The monks reply, you must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of
grass are there and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these
numbers, you will become a monk.
The man sets about his task. Some forty-five years later, he returns and
knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, I have travelled the earth
and devoted my life to the task demanded and have found what you had asked
for. There are 371,145,236,284,876,232,439,235,109 blades of grass and
231,281,219,999,129,987,382 sand pebbles on the earth.
The monks reply, congratulations, you are correct, and you are now
considered a monk ..
We shall now show you the way to the sound.
The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, the
sound is behind that door.
The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He asks, May I have
the key ?
The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.
Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone... The man requests
the key to the stone door.
The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of
ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that
door is another door, this one made of sapphire. And so it went on until
the man had gone through doors of emerald,...
.....silver, topaz, and amethyst.
Finally, the monks say, This is the key to the last door ....
The man is relieved to be at the end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob,
and behind that door he is astonished to find the source of that strange
sound. It is truly an amazing and unbelievable sight
.... But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk and neither
am I.
