Two young swordmen approached the old master and challenged him for his title as the best swordman in the land.
The first swordman swordman declared "I should be name the master as I have the fastest sword and the most accurate aim in the world." with that he snatched a fly out of the air, tossed it up and in one move,sliced the fly in half.
The second swordman laughed, "You are so slow, observe!"
He snatched a fly out of the air, tossed it up and in one deft move, sliced the fly into four pieces.
The master slowly got up from his seat where he has been sitting and said " You two are very, very good. But watch..."
He caught a fly with his hand and tossed it up in the air while drawing and returning his sword to its case in one fluid movement.
The fly continues to fly away, the two young men gasped" you missed, the fly is alive!"
"Yes" smiled the master, " the fly is alive but he will never be a father again!".
