Once a wise man was traveling with some of his
disciples（门徒）. They
36 to pass a lake and they stopped there for a
37 . The man told one of his disciples,“ I’m
38 . Do get me some water from that lake.”
Just as the disciple reached it, a cart started
39 the lake. As a result, the water became very
40 and muddy. The disciple thought, “
41 can I give this water to my teacher to drink!” So he came back and said, “The water is very muddy. I don’t think it is
42 to drink.”
After half an hour, the wise man asked the
43 disciple to get him some water. The disciple
obediently（顺从地） went back and found the lake was
44 muddy. He returned and
45 the wise man that the water was unfit to drink.
After another hour, the man again asked the disciple to get him a
46 . The disciple reached the lake to find it calm and still. The mud had
47 and the water was clean and clear. So he
48 some water and brought it to the wise man.
The wise man looked at the water, saying, “See what you
49 to make the water clean. You let it be — The
50 settled down on its own and you got the clear water. Our
51 is also like that! When it is disturbed, just let it be, Give it a little
52 . It will settle down on its own.”
So remember, the next time a(n)
53 has you all
frazzled（精疲力竭的）, just let it be; don’t
54 immediately. Let the Mud settle and come back to the situation
55 .
