The little monk wanted to go out of the monastery to meet the followers and to receive alms. He specially picked an old and torn clothes to wear.
"Why do you pick this clothes?", asked the old monk.
"Didn't you say that the outside appearance is not important? That's why I choose this piece. The followers will pity me and give me more alms.", the little monk said indignantly.
"Are you going out to beg? Are you hoping people sympathize with you and give you alms or hoping people realize that you are capable and listen to your preaching?", the old master asked with his eyes staring at his pupil.
