However the highest technique could only be taught to one of them. To see who should learn it, the locksmith held a test for both of them.

The locksmith came to the second deciples with the big smile and said, “You are the winner from this test.” The first one surprise. “Im the faster one to did that, I should be the winner.” shouted the first one with full of disappointment. The locksmith smiled wisely and explained, “My dear student, we are locksmiths, and to unlock all keysis our job. We must help others whose keys are gone or lost. Just that our duty.
