Monastery

 

Thomas Henderson traded the rat race in for a monastic life of quiet contemplation, but he found it very tough.   After one year of silence he was allowed to say two words to the Abbot, so he said, "Cell cold."  The Abbot nodded and Thomas went back to his cell. 

After the second year of contemplation he returned to the Abbot and said, "Food bland."  The Abbot nodded, and Thomas went back to his cell. 

After a third difficult year he returned to the Abbot and said, "I quit!"

The Abbot shook his head sadly.  "I'm not surprised, Brother Thomas. Ever since you joined us, you've done nothing but complain."
