wisdom story

really

a samurai came to zen master ikkyu's room with a fish in his hand.

he said: let's make a bet, and the zen master said that the fish in my hand is dead or alive?

ichikyu knew that if he said he was dead, the warrior would definitely let go; and if he said he was alive, the warrior would definitely pinch the fish to death in secret.

so, ichikyu said: it's dead.

the warrior immediately let go of his hand and smiled: haha, zen master, you lost, you see, this fish is alive.

ichikyu smiled faintly and said: yes, i lost.

ikki lost, but he won a real fish.
