One day, Shih-lin questioned the Layman, saying, "There's something I must ask. Does the Layman ever say anything succinctly?"
The Layman said, "Could you please tell me exactly what it is you're quibbling about?"
Shih—lin said, "I just asked you to say something succinctly."
The Layman said, "Doesn't your question presume someone is going to understand it [when I say it]?"
Shih—lin covered his ears.
The Layman said, "How concise! How concise!"
