Fayan has a question for you.

Fayan asked the monk Jiao, “Did you come by boat or by land?”

_

Jiao replied, “By boat.”

_

Fayan said, “Where is the boat?”

_

Jiao said, “The boat is in the river.”

_

Jiao then left.

_

Fayan turned to a monk standing to one side and asked, “Did that monk who was just here have the eye or not?”

_


_

So, did he or didn't he?

_

...You want my thoughts on the matter?

_

You can't have them. I am being unfair.
