The master was watching his apprentice for almost a hour now. The master was smiling.

What are you doing?
I am trying to remove this stone.
What is holding you back then.
It is very heavy, master
Maybe, it belongs on this spot, than
No, I didn’t put it there. Somebody must have left it here last night.
So you don’t like the stone, here.
I was told to plant some flowers here, today.
I see. So your problem is not that someone left a stone in your garden. The problem is that you had different plans.
Yes, you could say that.
So what will you do now.
Well, I could plant the flowers on the south side of the rock. The blossoms would contrast with the texture of it. Or I could plant them here in the corner to make a counter spot.
So you think there is a place for that stone in your garden?
I guess
And for the flowers too?
Certainly

The master, still smiling, walked away.
