When Father O’Reilly was a young Priest, and took great delight in making fools of his opponents in front of his followers. One day Father O’Reilly took his students to a pleasant pasture and there he confronted Blissy, the sacred cow of Beijing, while she was contentedly grazing. "Tell me, you dumb beast." demanded the Priest in his commanding voice, "why don't you do something worthwhile. What is your purpose in life, anyway?" Munching the tasty grass, the sacred cow replied "MU"*. Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody was enlightened, primarily because nobody could understand Chinese.
*"MU" is the Chinese ideogram for NO-THING
