The traveller arose and hit this man on the head with an old paper shouting: “Where have you been all this time, where have you been all this time?” The man on the bench accepted the punishment gracefully. Then the traveller stopped, wondered and put his hand before his mouth. “Oh, Master, I have totally started on the wrong foot. Let me start again.” He fell on his knees before the man and hugged him, while stammering: “Oh master, oh master, how glad I am to finally find you.” The man on the bench took the hugging gracefully. Then the traveller stopped and sat down next to the man. “That was entirely the wrong foot again. By the way,” the traveller said, “it is not entirely clear to me, who here is the student and who the master.” The traveller smiled. The man on the bench took this gracefully.
