A new monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by
hand. He notices, however, that they are copying copies, not the original books. So the new monk goes to
the head monk to ask him about this. He points out that if there was an error in the first copy, that error would
be continued in all of the other copies.
The head monk says "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my
son." He goes down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.
Hours later, nobody has seen the old, head monk. Finally one of the young monks goes downstairs to look
for him. He hears a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar, and finds the old monk leaning over one of
the original books crying.
He young monk asks what's wrong.
"The word is celebrate," says the old monk.
