A new monk arrived at the monastery.  He was assigned to help the
other monks in copying the old texts by hand.  He noticed, however, that
they were copying copies, not the original books.  The new monk went to
the head monk to ask him about this. He pointed out that if there were an
error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other
copies.

The head monk said, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries,
but you make a good point, my son."  The head monk went down  into the
cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

Hours later, nobody had seen him, so one of the monks went downstairs to
look for him.  He heard a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and
found the old monk leaning over one of the original books, crying.

He asked what was wrong.

"The word is 'celebrate'," said the head monk.
