Student: "I want to learn to swim.
Teacher: Do you want to make
a bargain about it?
Student: No.
I only have to take my ton of cabbage.
Teacher: What cabbage?
Student: The food which I will need
on the other island.
Teacher: There is better food there.
Student: I don't know what you mean.
I cannot be sure.
I must take my cabbage.
Teacher: You cannot swim,
for one thing,
with a ton of cabbage.
Student: Then I cannot go.
You call it a load.
I call it my essential nutrition.
Teacher: Suppose,
as an allegory,
we say not 'cabbage,'
but 'assumptions,'
or 'destructive ideas?'
Student: I am going to take my cabbage
to some instructor who understands
my needs." – The Sufis

Amature! Would have told him to let it putrefy and rot for a while! Then gas would form, and the cabbage would float! Then it`s just to tie e`m together and swim the little f#ckers wherever!
Students and rotten cabbage, yeezzh.. My last "student" just left, she was totally enlightened and there was nothing to improve or do better!! Was amazing to meet someone as flawless and brilliant as her! Honest, never lying, and trustworthy, while I am the same old clumsy head as ever:/
Even managed to fumble and loose some of the money in my drawer of all places! How clumsy is that??
That got me really pissed (on myself off course!) so I withdrew to my room, not talking to her. Tried to calm down with very loud music from youtube like "don`t come around her no more", "fuck off and die", "fuck you" and so on.
Luckily I don`t think she noticed I was in a baaad mood, or tought it odd that I NOT wanted to join her for a smoke when she hours later came in from the living room. (The poor thing even forgot to come back in and ask for a new rolling paper since I happened to give her the one that I had messed up the glue on and it kinda stuck together.) Anyway, the important thing is that she luckily did not notice my weird behavior! She did not even get insulted over that I needed private time and did not respond or followed her out when she gave her polite farewell thanks, God bless the little angel!
So I think I got away with it, or.., thou she might have suspected something was wrong.. Like, I kinda snarled the few words I said, and I probably looked awful angry and grim?.. Naaahhh, probably did not notice, then she would have said something would`nt she? |

Cabbage water is full of nutrients and is an excellent laxative. |
