The monkey king was very special， and that is why so many followed him. In the past， he had practiced goodness and trained his mind with such effort and attention， thathe had developed very fine qualities of mind. This is why he was said to be large in mind， not because he simply had a big brain.

　　The Enlightenment Being was able to keep these fine qualities in his mind， and produce a very unlikely event a miracle. First， he took a young bamboo shoot， blew through it to make the knots disappear， and used it to sip water from the pond. Then， amazing as it may sound， he waved his hand and all the bamboo growing around that one pond lost their knots. They became a new kind ofbamboo.

　　Then， all his 80，000 followers picked bamboo shoots and easily drank their fill from the pond. The water demon could not believe his green eyes. Grumbling tohimself， he slid back under the surface， leaving only gurgling bubbles behind.

　　The moral is： Test the water before jumping in.
