“Master,” he said, “something very strange happened this morning at breakfast.”
The guru nodded his head, “Yes, What happened?”
“You know, Master, how if you happen to drop a buttered piece of toast, it always falls butter-side down on the floor.”
“That’s true,” replied the guru, “everyone knows that.”
“Yes but this morning my toast fell off the table and landed butter-side up. How is this possible?”
The guru squinted hard at the student. “Are you sure?”
“Yes master. It shocked me.”
“This is a very serious matter,” said the guru with a frown, “I’ll need to meditate on it. Come back in an hour.”
An hour later, when the student returned, the Master smiled, placed a hand on his shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, the answer is quite simple – you simply buttered the toast on the wrong side.”
