Wayman, multiplying himself a thousand-fold, Sat in the charming mango-grove until he was sent for. Said the Teacher to the man, “Go to the monastery and say, ‘The Teacher summons Little Wayman.’” The man went and said what he was told to say. Thereupon the cry went up from a thousand throats, “I am Little Wayman! I am Little Wayman!” The man returned and said, “Reverend Sir, they all say they are Little Wayman.” Said the Teacher, “Well then, go and take by the hand the first man that says, ‘I am Little Wayman,’ and the rest will disappear.” The man did so.
