3.84

The Master entered the firewood shed during general work and said, "Those who are old need not go. Are there any old ones?"
A monk said, "There are."
The Master said, "Where are they?"
The monk then pushed forward a monk. The Master said, "This one is still a youngster."
There was no reply.
Answering on their behalf, he said, "If so, then one must go to the general work after all."
