Merle,<br/><br/>With pleasure!<br/><br/>18.   A Parable<br/><br/>Buddha told a 
parable in sutra:<br/><br/>A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. 
He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root 
of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him 
from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger 
was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.<br/><br/>Two mice, one 
white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man 
saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked 
the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!<br/><br/><br/>Sent from
