There was once an acient Zen master. He was known for his knowledge and wisdom. He is free for anyone to ask him questions. One day a group of tourists came and asked him so many questions he couldn't hold it. He finally finished them all, and was about to leave when a young student came up to him and said "Can I ask you a question?"
To this the acient zen master said, "Sure my son, I was just leaving." The boy then said "I could ask you 100 easy questions, or 1 very hard question." The zen master having a very hard day and knowing how long it would take to go through 100 question then said "I will take the 1 question"
The boy asked "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" The zen master said "The Chicken" "How do you know?" The boy asked very triumphantly. To this the zen master replied "The deal was you only ask me 1 question." He left with the boy's mouth gaping.

* Sorry if it was a little mixed up, I couldn't remember the original one so I changed it up!






I do not know the answer to this question, and probaly never will. If you know, answer! If you don't, go ask a Zen master!
