Another parable

In the two Zen temples there was a student-child. One, going every morning for vegetables met on the way of the other.

“Where are you going?” One asked somehow.
“I'm going where the legs are being carried,” the other one replied.

This answer amazed the first one, and he turned to his teacher for help.
“Tomorrow,” said the teacher, “when you meet this boy, ask him the same question.” He will also answer you, and then you ask: "And if you did not have legs, where would you go?" It will put him in a quandary. "

The next morning the children met again.
“Where are you going?” Asked the first one.
“Where the wind blows,” answered the second.
')
This again led to the confusion of the first student, and he again turned to the teacher.
“Ask him where he would go if there was no wind,” the teacher offered him.

The next day, the children met for the third time.
“Where are you going?” Asked the first one.
"To the market for vegetables," answered the second.
