the Wise Man is followed
by many, from near and from afar;
and see, the Wise Man stops now
at the dumplings store
and buys some dumplings
and waits for his change;
but the vendor simply resumes
at making more money
'So where's my change,
my good man? ' says the Wise Man
who is followed
by many, from near and from afar
And the vendor he replies:
'Change, O Wise Leader of Many Followers,
as you have often said,
comes from within'
